Report faults military sex-offender tracking

The Defense Department doesn’t know how many registered sex offenders have access to military bases and lacks a departmentwide sex offender registry, a new report says.

The military also has no way to verify if applicants for military housing are sex offenders required to register with local police, the audit conducted by the Inspector General for the Pentagon found.

Auditors visited military prisons and bases around the nation — including Camp Pendleton and the Navy correctional facility at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar — to gather data and conduct interviews with military and local law enforcement.

The report said that in 2011 and 2012 about 40 percent of all inmates in military prisons around the nation — more than 600 inmates — were serving sentences for crimes that required them to register as sex offenders when they were released.
