Reports

WSFR Grants Awarded to the Pennsylvania Game Commission, July 1, 2016, to June 30, 2018

The OIG investigated allegations that a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) employee sexually assaulted another BLM employee while off duty. We found insufficient evidence to prove or disprove the allegation, and further investigation is unlikely to produce additional evidence. The alleged victim did not have any memory of an assault but also denied being drugged or otherwise incapacitated; the alleged wrongdoer claimed that they had consensual sex. The employee did not file a police report, and the local prosecutor’s office declined prosecution.

The OIG investigated allegations that a current Bureau of Indian Education (BIE) employee knew, or should have known, that a student was sexually assaulted at the school and failed to report this information. We found that the employee failed to report a conversation regarding the incident as required by the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act.

We investigated allegations that a superintendent with the National Park Service (NPS) promoted his personal real estate business when performing official duties as a park superintendent. We found that the superintendent violated relevant standards of conduct and the Code of Federal Regulations by misusing public office for private gain and by creating an appearance that the Government endorsed the superintendent’s real estate business.
