Ombudsman Will Oversee National Guard’s Handling Of Sex Assault Complaints

A newly-appointed Ombudsman will oversee the way the Wisconsin National Guard handles sexual assault complaints.  Governor Tony Evers appointed Lieutenant Colonel Brian Bischoff to the new position last week.  Bischoff has 17 years of experience as an Army lawyer.  He will look into sexual harassment and assault complaints – and the way the Guard handles them.  A former commander of the Wisconsin National Guard was forced out by the governor after suggestions he covered up similar complaints.
