Air Force says 31 victims so far in sex scandal

WASHINGTON (AP) - June 28, 2012

Gen. Edward Rice, commander of the Air Education and Training Command, tells Pentagon reporters that a dozen male instructors are under investigation, and that nine of them are from the same unit - the 331st Training Squadron.

Rice says the Air Force believes this is not a problem endemic to the nine training squadrons, and that it appears to be localized. He says the sexual misconduct occurred over the past two and one-half years, but the first woman came forward only a year ago.

The Air Force has launched an independent investigation across all training units.
