Looks like a good day for picking on the Navy. I guess being reminded almost daily about sexual harassment didn't work for this guy. I bet if the command climate was such that the first E-3 this guy hit on reported it, something would have been done.
Now that the sailors who were handed 'stress cards' in boot camp are rising to power decades later, expect to see more of this type of reaction from offenders. "It's not my fault, they should have stopped me'".
To be honest anyone that spent a considerable amount of time in any branch of the service has seen many offenses go unpunished. Junior ranks get hung out to dry while the higher ups get letters of reprimand. The Admiral Metcalf incident from Grenada comes to mind.
Shumate even hit on a married sailor and was confronted by her enraged husband. It would have been interesting to see how that went if the guy was also military and they came to blows.
