The U.S. Army is investigating allegations that eight Manassas-based Virginia Army National Guard members took photos and video of 21 women in their unit while the women were showering.
Army investigators say the photos were allegedly taken last fall while the 266th Military Police Company was training at New Jersey’s Fort Dix before deploying to Iraq. No charges have been filed, but a criminal investigation is under way, an Army spokesman said.
Fort Dix spokeswoman Carolee Nisbet told the Associated Press that the allegations were disappointing and that most soldiers who stay at Fort Dix before being deployed “live up to the Army values.”
The 266th is now serving in Basra, Iraq.
