Police lack IDs for Tailhook suspects in Las Vegas
Las Vegas police say they cannot pursue reports of women groped and pushed through a line of men at the Tailhook Convention because the women cannot identify the culprits. Capt. Frank Barker noted a 28 year old local woman's report could not be followed due to lack of evidence and unidentified suspects. earlier reports described similar abuse from out of town witnesses. The Navy and Defense Department are investigating claims that at least 26 women, including military officers, were sexually abused at the Sept 5 7 1991 event at the Las Vegas Hilton, which the convention has since banned. The Las Vegas woman described being surrounded and fondled as she tried to seek help. Her name was withheld.
