Head of Missile Defense Agency sexually harassed staffers for 7 years, Pentagon watchdog finds
The former top civilian at the Pentagon's Missile Defense Agency (MDA) sexually harassed two women in his office for seven years before retiring after a complaint was filed, the military's watchdog agency has found.
John James, the former MDA executive director, "engaged in a pattern of misconduct in which he sexually harassed" the two employees from 2012 through 2019, according to a recently released Defense Department Inspector General's report.
James "repeatedly sought out and made deliberate, unwelcomed physical contact" with one woman - "whom he would normally have little or no professional interaction" - including asking for her personal cell phone and taking a picture of her buttocks as she walked away from him.
