Operation Fouled Anchor was an investigation launched in 2014 after the Coast Guard Investigative Service, or CGIS, became aware of a sexual assault allegation that happened at the service’s academy in Connecticut, a Coast Guard spokesperson said Friday in a statement.
“The alleged assault occurred years earlier and the matter had been mishandled,” the Coast Guard spokesperson said. “In response, CGIS commenced a broad investigation that followed up on all leads related to sexual assaults that were alleged to have occurred between 1988 and 2006.”
