REPORTS SAY TAILHOOK BRINGING 15 COURTS-MARTIAL
More than a dozen officers may be court-martialed as a result of a Pentagon report on the 1991 naval aviators' convention in which servicemen drunkenly fondled women and exposed themselves, according to newspaper reports.
The 300-page report on the Tailhook Association convention was compiled by Derek J. Vander Schaaf, the Defense Department's inspector general, and is to be released publicly later this month, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.
The Los Angeles Times, citing unidentified sources, said Vander Schaaf was recommending courts-martial for 15 officers on charges of assault or indecency, and lesser proceedings for a similar number of officers.
The New York Times, in today's editions, said the report was expected to implicate as many as a dozen admirals who failed to stop the misbehavior.
