SGT Private RallyPoint Member 5315923 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>SHARP INVESTIGATION occurred on one of my soldiers and he is not flagged. It is a bullshit investigation that comes from another NCO that accused him of sexual harassment for a verbal statement that he made to someone else in the army and never to her. How long do these investigations last? What are the chances he will get in trouble? He admitted to the statement and he made it to another soldier but never to her and she only reported because the one he made it to is her boyfriend and they are being investigated for fraternization. My soldier has never been in trouble and he is solid in performance. The investigation began end of October. <br />How long do these investigations take? It has been closed but it is at legal for the last three weeks? Also he was never flagged for the investigation and never given a counseling for it but it is still under investigation. Should he have a flag put in place for this? 2019-12-06T20:42:45-05:00 SGT Private RallyPoint Member 5315923

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Why did you post the same question twice, 2 hours apart? But yes, your Soldier should have been flagged while this investigation took place.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>&quot;He admitted to the statement&quot; Well that will make the investigation easy.<br />Don&#39;t make statements or consent to searches.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It sounds like you need a SHARP class if you believe it&#39;s BS for a comment to be ABOUT someone and not directly to them. Making comments behind someone&#39;s back is even worse because it robs the person of the opportunity to defend themselves..<br />Yes, the Soldier was required to be flagged for investigation. The flag prevents him from leaving before the investigation finishes. It&#39;s not a legal investigation, and not something that would be handled by CID so it only takes asong as it takes the investigating officer to compile everything. As for what will happen to him, it&#39;s just a comment and nothing illegal (rape, assault, etc) so it would fall on the Commanders discretion.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It sounds to me as if they are doing a Third Party Sexual Harassment complaint. Just because the comment was not made specifically to a person does not mean that they cannot be offended by it and report it. I was stationed at Ft. Sill from 97-00 and was in HHB 3/18 FA. As one of the only females within the BN, I was always being asked if certain comments offended me. One of our mandatory classes were on Sexual Harassment. We were told that all someone had to do was hear a conversation between other people, and if a comment offended them, as a third party not even participating in the conversation, they could report it under the Third Party Sexual Harassment rule. I personally don&#39;t agree with it, but I have seen many females hear part of a comment between two males within earshot and holler Sexual Harassment. It is the stupidest thing that I have ever heard of but it is regulation.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I lean on the side of just not making comments of this nature, kept me out of trouble and no one can ever testify that I ever even speak like that. <br /><br />It has actually helped me once when I was accused of saying something about someone, who was upset with me for reporting their friend for a crime I saw them commit. My staff NCO went to bat for me even before I was notified. They opened an investigation that was closed almost as fast as it was opened. <br /><br />I not only denied saying it, everyone they talked to said that it was not believable that I would make such a comment and made statements to the contrary of what I was accused of.
