The Department of Justice's Inspector General says that mishandling of sexual harassment complaints is a systemic problem. The Inspector's office found that complaints were mishandled in multiple instances. The report pointed to a number of cases where perpetrators did not receive proper punishment.
Liz Wolfe, Managing Editor at Young Voices, breaks down the report. In a dozen cases investigated by the Inspector General, high level officials were let off the hook without receiving a serious enough punishment. Some officials even received work-related awards and acknowledgements while being accused of sexual harassment.
