MADISON, Wis. — A powerful Wisconsin legislator has demanded a detailed review of the state National Guard’s sexual harassment and assault policies after meeting with a soldier who alleges she was sexually harassed and the man wasn’t punished. U.S. Air Force investigators are already investigating allegations of sexual assault and harassment within a Wisconsin Air National Guard security unit at the urging of U.S. Sen. Tammy Baldwin. State Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald, a Republican, wrote Tuesday to the Wisconsin National Guard’s top commander, Maj. Gen. Donald Dunbar, requesting “a thorough review” of sexual harassment and sexual assault policies. He also demanded information on the National Guard’s sexual harassment and sexual assault prevention efforts. “As I’m sure you know, the Wisconsin National Guard takes all allegations of sexual assault, harassment or misconduct seriously, and we do not tolerate it in our ranks,” she said.
