Female officers filmed while taking their baths in the unisex showers have brought the US Navy submarine under investigation. According to multiple reports, tapes of at least three female officers, showing them taking a bath and changing clothes, have allegedly been circulating among other crew members who were on board the USS Wyoming.
Shockingly, this was also the very same submarine which first allowed women to serve.
Navy officials are now investigating an unidentified 24-year-old second petty officer who is believed to be in accordance with an incident report that was filed last month.
According to the incident report, it is highly likely that the cameras caught both men and women showering on video. However, the source, who has been in touch with an alleged victim, has reiterated that the videos of the women were the only ones that were distributed.
The investigation of the female officers filmed comes not only shortly before the Navy is about to begin its next round of gender integration. Coincidentally, it is also the same week that the Navy revoked an honorary title from Bill Cosby, citing multiple allegations that the famous comedian committed sexual assault.
The officials of the Navy released a statement on Thursday that mentioned how the charges against the comedian "are very serious and are in conflict with the Navy's core values of honor, courage, and commitment."
As of this moment, it remains unclear how the officials of the Navy are going to punish those who are behind the alleged distribution of the tapes of the female officers filmed.
"The Navy is aware of an allegation of alleged criminal activity on board USS Wyoming home ported at Kings bay," Lt. Leslie Hubbell stated. "The Navy and NCIS are investigating the matter, and, unfortunately, further details are not available at this time due to the ongoing investigation."
Hubbell then added, "If the allegations prove to be factual, the Navy will ensure individuals involved are held accountable for their actions."
