She described the first meeting as \u201csecretive and highly unusual,\u201d as Coast Guard officials put \u201ca unique emphasis on the importance of confidentiality.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norenberg claims that the plan, which she said was framed as an \u201capology tour,\u201d involved officials, including herself, traveling across the country to meet with survivors mentioned in the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Coast Guard deceived me into violating a basic principle of my profession, which is to never lie to victims,\u201d Norenberg wrote. \u201cAlthough I did not realize what I was doing at the time, I cannot allow this to stand. The least I can offer as an apology to the victims I misled is to tell them the truth, and to ask Congress to finally make these victims whole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Hill was the <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/4713565-coast-guard-academy-official-resigns-abuse-lies\/\" target=\"_blank\">first to report<\/a> on Norenberg\u2019s resignation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norenberg alleges she was directed to not give victims the documents needed to report sexual assaults, which would have compelled her to upload them to the military\u2019s sexual assault database. This, she wrote, would have led to a large increase in reported sexual assaults that would eventually be reported to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Withholding those documents, she wrote, would make it more difficult for victims to receive VA military sexual trauma benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Throughout her time meeting with victims in the Operation Fouled Anchor case, Norenberg said she and other Coast Guard officials deliberately did not provide anything in writing to victims to hide the existence of the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Norenberg\u2019s resignation comes as Coast Guard Commandant Adm. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/05\/11\/senate-confirms-new-coast-guard-commandant-the-first-uniformed-woman-to-lead-a-service\/\" target=\"_blank\">Linda Fagan<\/a> is set to testify Tuesday, June 11, before the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Chairman of the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/2020\/09\/18\/sen-richard-blumenthal-cries-havoc-wants-to-let-slip-more-us-raised-dogs-of-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">Richard Blumenthal<\/a> (D-Conn.) and Ranking Member <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/veterans\/2016\/05\/28\/sen-ron-johnson-s-senate-committee-to-release-tomah-va-report\/\" target=\"_blank\">Ron Johnson<\/a> (R-Wisc.) sent a letter to Fagan on May 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hsgac.senate.gov\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024.04.25-Letter-from-PSI-to-USCG-and-Invitation-for-Admiral-Fagan.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">demanding the Coast Guard more expediently provide documents<\/a> after only receiving a small portion of heavily redacted and duplicated documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In July, Fagan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.navytimes.com\/home\/2023\/12\/12\/lawmakers-coast-guard-academy-sex-assaults-threaten-national-security\/\" target=\"_blank\">ordered a 90-day accountability and transparency review<\/a> of the service\u2019s sexual assault and harassment policies. Fagan started leading the service in June 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of Fagan\u2019s recommendations in the subsequent review included the creation of a prevention program modeled after the Defense Department and increased oversight of the Coast Guard Academy. Fagan, who is the first woman to lead a branch of the U.S. military, told lawmakers this past July that senior Coast Guard leaders need to begin to rebuild trust within the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt is clear to me that we\u2019ve got a culture in areas that is permissive and allows sexual assaults, harassment, bullying, retaliation, that is inconsistent with our core values,\u201d Fagan told lawmakers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Coast Guard Academy official alleges she was instructed to discourage sexual assault victims from
