A senior Department of Justice official was found by the departments Inspector General to have sexually harassed multiple female subordinates and to have sexually assaulted one of them but was not criminally prosecuted, according to a newly released OIG report. According to an investigative summary of the report, the OIG substantiated at least four instances of sexual harassment by the unnamed senior Office of Justice Programs official. The investigation is also said to have found that he sexually assaulted one female subordinate he'd subjected to harassment and coerced more than one subordinate to have sex with him. In one instance, the official allegedly pressured an employee to have sex with him in exchange for a promotion. In addition, the senior official was found to have maintained a long term sexual relationship with a subordinate during the same period he was responsible for approving her performance evaluations and promotions. The IG concluded that the officials actions amounted to ethical misconduct, sexual harassment, and sexual assault, all in violation of law. But criminal prosecution of the official was ultimately declined and he retired from his position, according to the report. No further details were available on why criminal charges were not pursued.
