Tennessee VA Officials Resign Amid Sex Scandal

A congressional investigation into the Mountain Home VA Medical Center in Tennessee has revealed alarming sexual misconduct, including a 12-person orgy involving employees and one male staffer reportedly having sexual relations with 32 female co-workers. Several officials have resigned amid the escalating probe, which began following concerns about a toxic workplace culture. The male employee, who is a bargaining unit biomedical worker, and women involved allegedly boasted about their encounters on a government communication portal. At least two employees admitted to having sex on the VA hospital property, adding to the scandal's severity. The investigation has prompted calls for accountability and has raised questions about oversight within the VA. Congressional leaders have been actively seeking documentation and details from the VA Secretary following whistleblower reports since July 2023.
