CIA Docs Reveal Multiple Employees and Contractors Were Never Prosecuted for Child Sex Crimes |
2021-12-03 |
Obtained by BuzzFeed News via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits going all the way back to 2012, the documents reveal that the CIA "amassed credible evidence" of staffers involved in child sex crimes over a 14-year period and pursued no criminal prosecution in an effort to protect sensitive and classified materials. "Though most of these cases were referred to US attorneys for prosecution, only one of the individuals was ever charged with a crime," noted Buzzfeed News. "Prosecutors sent the rest of the cases back to the CIA to handle internally, meaning few faced any consequences beyond the possible loss of their jobs and security clearances." "CIA insiders say the agency resists prosecution of its staff for fear the cases will reveal state secrets," the report added. Often, the employees were fired or had their contracts revoked, as opposed to criminal prosecution for sex crimes that involved children as young as two. |

#4 So... is this Buzzfeed going off reservation by saying child sex crimes are bad, or ammunition for normalization? |

#3 From the article: The over 3,000 pages of documents obtained by Buzzfeed News covered a range of internal investigations at the CIA, all of which had names redacted for privacy purposes. Of the 10 cases discovered, five of the alleged perps were fired or resigned, four were referred to a personnel board or the Office of Security, and one was prosecuted in tandem with mishandling classified material. |
