(AP) WASHINGTON - A senior Air Force commander says 31 female victims have been identified so far in a widening sex scandal that has rocked the service's training command at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas.

Gen. Edward Rice, commander of the Air Education and Training Command, tells Pentagon reporters that a dozen male instructors are under investigation, and that nine of them are from the same unit — the 331st Training Squadron.

Rice says the Air Force believes this is not a problem endemic to the nine training squadrons, and that it appears to be localized. He says the sexual misconduct occurred over the past two and one-half years, but the first woman came forward only a year ago.

The Air Force has launched an independent investigation across all training units.

[FalseAccusations]

Same ol' tactic we've all come to expect from the exagerrations of copy-cat accusers and their lawsuit staging garbage. (1) Targets of the accusations are male (2) Lone accuser comes forward describing an incident that could just as easily be consensual as non-consensual (3) "Advertising" the pay-out bandwagon begins with media (4) Multiple accusers come forward, or are identified as consensual partners initially - but for the sake of a public image stunt investigation and profit they become (false) victims. (5) No evidence (6) No witnesses (7) Coddling the accusers as so-called victims deny the accused their right to be presumed innocent. (8) Untold hours of coaching sessions so all the accusers have their psych BS all on the same page. If anyone bothered to research these baseless ploys they would discover just as I have that dozens of panic industry individuals and organizations work for months/years constructing and planning out these lies long before the media gets the story.
