Harrassment Hotline

The scope of the Army's sex scandal problem continues to grow well past the expectations of officials in charge.

According to the Associated Press, since the the Army's hotline was set up to receive calls, more than 4,000 women have called to register their complaints. The Army currently plans to look into 550 of the cases brought to their attention.

Although the line was set up in response to events at a base in Aberdeen, Md., 74 percent of the calls have involved other military installations. Among the growing list of problems at other bases, four noncommissioned officers at Fort Leonard Wood in Missouri have been charged with having personal relationships with trainees.
