US Army Charges Spc. Suzanne Swift

HeadlineSep 28, 2006

And finally, in an update on a story we’ve been following closely, the US military has brought charges against Specialist Suzanne Swift. She is the US soldier who was arrested and confined to base for going AWOL after her charges of sexual harassment and assault went un-addressed by the military. On Wednesday, Swift was charged with being absent without leave and missing movement. Swift has refused to return to Iraq, where she says she was sexually harassed by a commanding officer. She says the harassment also took place at her base in Fort Lewis, Washington.
