NCIS Investigation Into Female Sub Shower Videos Complete

Meghann Myers at the Navy Times, an independant newspaper that covers the U.S. Navy, offers a piece on the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) investigation of the videos taken of female sailors on a U.S. submarine.

A criminal investigation into the secret filming of women changing aboard a submarine and the distribution of the videos is complete, Navy Times has learned.

A Naval Criminal Investigative Service investigation into the filming of female officers in a shower changing area on the ballistic missile submarine Wyoming wrapped up this week, a Navy official said, and will be briefed to senior leadership in the coming days.

Once the report has been reviewed, there will be a recommendation for action, which could including disciplinary proceedings within the next few months.

The NCIS report follows a command investigation, which was wrapped up in mid-December. Between the two reports, Navy leadership will decide on consequences for those involved in the filming and distribution of the videos, which could come with criminal penalties for transmitting vulgar videos.

NCIS Director Focusing On Economic Crimes And Special Response Teams

Naval Criminal Investigative Service Director, Andrew Traver (seen in his official NCIS photo), was interviewed by Meghann Myers at the Navy Times. The Navy Times is an independant newspaper that covers the Navy.

HEADQUARTERS, QUANTICO, Virginia — Naval Criminal Investigative Service Director Andrew Traver assumed command in October 2013 — weeks after the Navy Yard shootings — with a clear mandate: Take an agency known for sleuthing and prepare it for dangerous confrontations.

A year later, training is about to begin for the first class of NCIS agents who will comprise the Regional Emergency Reaction Counter Threat teams that can serve high-risk warrants or act as first responders in the case of on-base emergencies, like active-shooter crises.

NCIS also has its eye on tackling the large number of sexual assault complaints it investigates every year from the Navy and Marine Corps, as well as economic fraud against the Navy Department that is an increasing priority for leadership.

Traver sat down with Navy Times on Nov. 20 for a wide-ranging interview.
