Here's the link to the article. It was an AP investigation using military statistics. It wasn't only the marines though.

I don't think this is the bothering part of the story.
53 with 8000 recruiters in the army (no clue how many
cases that makes in total) is not that much.
However this part here is bothering me:
Most recruiters found guilty of sexual misconduct are disciplined administratively, facing a reduction in rank or forfeiture of pay; military and civilian prosecutions are rare.
Excuse me?
What happened to the good old dishonorable discharge?

It's CBS... consider the source. That network is extremely anti-military. They're very clever though... they just work stories to make soldiers look bad... they don't come out and say anything OBVIOUSLY negative.
Hmmm..... I wonder if they'd do a report on how many journalists have been accused of rape? (No... obviously AND there's no way to accurately report that.) The military has the best reporting system of any career path. That's why there are solid numbers.
Hippy is an idiot.

there are easily VERY, very few pretend rape accusations made. i'm reading this in kinfolk regulation at present. for someone to go back ahead about a rape is often an act of braveness. the pretend accuser could no longer get off scott-free - if no longer some thing else the guy she victimized could seem at a civil action. did he then visit the police and document a pretend arrest, etc record or did he only believe the gadget to achieve out and preferrred proper itself?

From the article:
In the Army, 53 recruiters were charged with misconduct last year. Recruiting spokesman S. Douglas Smith said the Army has put much energy into training its staff to avoid these problems.
"To have 53 allegations in a year, while it is 53 more than we would want, is not indicative of the entire command of 8,000 recruiters," he said. "We take this very seriously and we take appropriate action as necessary to discipline these people."
Damn straight.
