Discrimination against women in military-linked sex trafficking cases by prosecutors

Evidence

Bolkovac and Johnston both sued DynCorp for wrongful termination. (Their stories form the basis for the 2011 film The Whistleblower.) Bolkovac eventually won a judgment in a British court, while Johnston settled with DynCorp for an undisclosed sum. In Bosnia, the Army CID referred the case to local police and closed its investigation without examining the trafficking allegations or speaking to any of the women involved. None of the accused were prosecuted, and no DynCorp official faced prosecution. — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 537

  • QUESTION: What explains the Army CID closing its investigation without interviewing victims? This seems to involve a broader pattern of non-prosecution.
