On May 22, 2013 an article appeared in The New York Times regarding an incident that took place at USMA and came to the attention of Academy leaders in 2012. On May 23, the Academy Public Affairs Office issued the following statement:

Dear friends, graduates and supporters,

A Tactical Non-Commissioned Officer assigned to West Point from 2009-2012 is  involved an on-going investigation for possession of inappropriate images taken without consent.  The U.S. Army and the U.S. Military Academy take any violation of the law seriously, and are pursuing all criminal allegations.

Once discovered in 2012, the USMA leadership took action and immediately notified the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Command for further investigation, while simultaneously removing the individual from contact with the Corps of Cadets.  The individual was removed from West Point earlier this year.  

He has since been charged with several violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

CID Special Agents, in conjunction with appropriate counselors and support staff, notified all identified potential victims, and the Army will ensure the military justice system works through to its proper conclusion.  The Army will protect the privacy of the individuals involved as well as continue to offer
support services as required.

The Army is committed to ensuring the safety and welfare of our cadets at the
Military Academy at West Point.

LTC Webster M. Wright III
USMA PAO
