Let\u2019s have sex,\u201d while at a bar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two had been talking about his marital challenges, she recalled, and her experiences \u201cin which male acquaintances had tried to pressure her into a physical relationship that she had no interest in pursuing, and how she felt they were trying to take advantage of her,\u201d according to the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After she refused his suggestion to start a sexual relationship, she told investigators, he responded that \u201ceverybody in the office already thinks we are sleeping together, we might as well do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/your-military\/2023\/01\/19\/dod-finance-chief-sexually-harassed-subordinates-used-racial-slur\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23012749878626.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">DoD finance chief sexually harassed subordinates, used racial slur<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">An inspector general report substantiated several claims of misconduct against Doug Glenn.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She told two colleagues outside of her office about the incident, who told investigators that she felt he had tried to manipulate her into sex, and that she was concerned about what might happen on their next work trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the January incident, she reported Grimes \u201casked her to join him for more drinks at his hotel in an effort to be alone with her, stay out drinking, or both,\u201d according to the investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That exchange was substantiated by a service member who \u201cwitnessed Mr. Grimes \u2018gently\u2019 grab Subordinate 1\u2032s arm, pull her slightly forward, and invite her to join him for an alcoholic drink,\u201d the report continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Soon after taking a new job in the Pentagon, according to the investigation, the subordinate told seven members of her new team about Grimes\u2019 behavior, all seven of whom confirmed those conversations to the IG investigators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In response to the allegations, Grimes denied discussing his marriage with the subordinate as well as asking her for sex or inviting her to his hotel room. He told the IG that they hadn\u2019t done a thorough investigation, and questioned whether the service member witness was biased against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reached for comment, Grimes told Military Times that he denies each of the allegations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI lost confidence in the investigation process which ignored statements of witnesses that contradicted the complainant\u2019s version of the events and stand by my detailed rebuttal,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Grimes gave investigators several examples that he felt illustrated that the subordinate still had warm feelings toward him and did not try to avoid him, but the IG concluded that one of them was before the first harassment incident, and the other two constituted the subordinate dutifully updating her boss on her whereabouts rather than exchanges between friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because he retired on March 31, according to the report, the results of the investigation will be placed in his personnel file, but he will face no official consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The official twice tried to initiate a sexual relationship with a woman on his team, an investigation
