Military struggles to curb sex crimes among soldiers

Soldiers receive CBR training.

The military is stepping up moves against sex crimes among soldiers following a series of recent sexual harassment cases involving ranking military officials.

It has set a special period from July 30-Aug. 31 to “stamp out” sex crimes in the military. It is also striving to enhance military discipline and educational programs against sex crimes, a military official said.



“Sex crimes are things that seriously damage the moral fiber of the military. We have stringently dealt with those involved in the sex crimes and have alerted (military units) against them to prevent the repeat of such cases,” the official said under condition of anonymity.
