As a therapist, author, and treatment expert in the area of problem sexual behavior and sexual addiction, I have been privileged to provide multiple educational programs for US Military Chaplains and Military Family Advocacy therapists worldwide, trainings specifically related to the growing concern of problem sexual behavior by US servicemen and women — both on and off base.
The current drama now playing out in the media related to US Secret Service agents’ procurement of prostitutes while on assignment is without question the tip of the iceberg of a concern that is both under-recognized and misunderstood by both military leaders and the general public.

As you said, this is nothing new. This isn’t about the military…this is about (nothing new)…human behavior, which hasn’t changed since the beginning of time.
I was in the military (Women’s Army Corps) and never experienced any harrassment…of any kind.
Are you related to Elaine Weiss, by any chance? Personal question……
given the military is supposedly under the command of our civilian leaders…and given the continual (and expected, if no longer openly encouraged as historically) and variety of sexual offenses discovered of our civilian leaders…
one could say a dog that will fetch a bone will carry a bone.
As a victim of a sexual predator police officer, I have studied this problem extensively and found how common it is in military and law enforcement. My life is changed forever and it saddens me to see how oblivious society is to this problem. Thank you for this article.
please tell me more about this incident. i too may have a potential problem with a police officer.
