Does the Military Investigate Crimes Against Children?

Who is left to investigate heinous crimes against children when the system charged with that duty is corrupted and part of the problem?

Recently, officers within the military’s Judge Advocate General’s Corps (JAG Corps) have stepped up to the plate, according to a 2022 article by Michael Baxter of Real Raw News (RRN), an online reporting site.

The U.S. Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps has devoted part of its resources toward the creation of a dedicated child sex crimes division whose task it will be to hunt down the child traffickers and pedophiles that have exploited positions of power to prey on society’s most vulnerable demographic.

It’s hard to hear in the video, but toward the beginning, a man in the audience mentions “child traffickers.” David Straight, a longtime advocate for victims and survivors of the corrupt Child Protective Services (CPS) system, continued by describing – briefly – what has been going on at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere.

According to RRN, their JAG source said there was discussion within the corps whether or not to take on crimes against children that weren’t necessarily perpetrated by soldiers, suspected traitors, and other typical targets of the military justice system.

Our job was to catch traitors. Child sex crimes, while absolutely horrible, were the responsibility of the feds and local and state law enforcement.

After a few test cases of letting the federal, state, and local ‘law enforcement’ agencies do their job, it was clear that wasn’t the answer. A JAG audit showed these types of crimes were on the rise. One source said, “There is an ongoing insurrection against the children of the United States, and it must be stopped…… We now have a sizable force to bring to justice those who have escaped justice.”

Of course, the military – as with other institutions, large and small – has had it’s share of rape scandals and cover-ups. Many of the crimes perpetrated against Diane Madden Ferguson when she was a young sailor occurred on Guantanamo Bay, as described in her book, Undertow: A U.S. Navy Veteran’s Journey through Military Sexual Trauma.

If it’s true there’s good and bad in everything, the tiny nuggets of information seeping out into the public consciousness through alternative news sources might give one hope that somebody with authority actually cares enough to investigate and prosecute crimes against children that ‘law enforcement’ has all but ignored for decades.
