Navy officer studies harassment
Thesis says problem is widespread
SAN DIEGO — A retired Navy officer asserts in her doctoral thesis that sexual harassment is widespread in the Navy but that many women are fearful of reporting it.
The Associated Press
suburban San Diego.
Retired Cmdr. Kray Krohn's study included a detailed review of eight sexual harassment cases that resulted in formal complaints, hearings and punishment, the Los Angeles Times reported Sunday.
"The harassment suffered by the eight women in this report is the tip of a very large iceberg a dangerous threat to the U.S. armed forces," wrote Krohne, who tiredened in 1893 and lived
The 250-page dissertation is thought to be the first in-depth study of the effects of sexual harassment on female naval officers. It earned Krohn a doctorate in December from the University of San Diego's College of Education.
Navy officials said they were not surprised by Krohn's findings, which parallel a 1990 Defense Department report that found that 64 percent of women in the U.S. military had been sexually harassed.
"One of our recent Navy surveys showed that 75 percent of the women and 50 percent of the men said sexual
harassment was a problem," said Capt. Martha Whitehead, special assistant for women's policy to the chief of naval personnel in Washington, D.C. "It's a very high-level concern in the Navy."
Krohn said that she was subjected to harassment early in her 21-year Navy career but that she transferred away from the captain who pressured her for sex.
Forty of the 61 female officers Krohne interviewed between 1988 and 1990 said they had been sexually harassed. Most of the incidents involved off-color jokes, sexual remarks and unsolicited physical contact.
Krohn also found that reprisals of various forms are commonly taken
against women who report sexual harassment. More than half the women who told her they had been harassed said they did not report the incident for reasons including fear of reprisal and lack of confidence in the system.
*Male naval officers do not view sexual harassment and discrimination as seriously as they do racism, "Krohne said.
Some victims went to great lengths to stop or discourage the harassment. One of them told Krohn that she intentionally gained weight to look less attractive, while another said she stopped wearing make-up and began wearing uniforms that were two sizes too big to discourage unwanted sexual advances.
Jury chosen for sperm fraud trial
Prosecutors accuse Virginia doctor of using own sperm for inseminations
The Associated Press
ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A jury was chosen today in the trial of an infertility doctor accused of artificially inseminating dozens of women with his own sperm without their knowledge.
Dr. Cecil Jacobson, 55, is charged with 47 counts of fraud and six counts of perjury. The charges carry a maximum of 285 years in prison and a
$500,000 fine. Potential jurors were given a questionnaire asking, among other things, if they had ever had any problems with infertility or miscarriage, ever filed a lawsuit against a doctor or been a victim of fraud. It took about $2/2 hours to choose a jury of eight women and four men.
Prosecutors allege Jacobsonlied to childless couples about using a sperm
bank with anonymous donors to impregnate the women when he instead used his own sperm to father up to 7% of his patients' babies.
James Tate, Jacobson's lawyer, argues that the doctor donated his sperm to increase patients' chances of becoming pregnant or to protect them from potential exposure to AIDS but that he only did so after receiving his patients' consent.
Jacobson also is accused of falsely telling some women they were pregnant, giving them hormones to simulate pregnancy and claiming to locate
the fetuses in sonograms.
The women eventually were told they had miscarried or that the fetuses had been "reabsorbed" into their bodies, the indictment alleges.
Jacobson has denied the charges
Jacobson has denied the charges.
Jacobson said he mixed his sperm with water because fresh sperm was more effervescent than the sperm and because the frozen samples might not have been tested for the AIDS virus.
Inanycase, Tatesaid, itisnotillegal for a doctor to donate sperm for a patient.
