TL;DR Summary

The death of Pvt. Ana Basaldua Ruiz at Fort Hood has raised questions about the Army's handling of sexual harassment claims. Basaldua Ruiz's mother and friends told Noticias Telemundo that she had said she was sexually harassed, including by one of her superiors. The Army Department's Criminal Investigation Division is investigating her death, and information related to any possible harassment will be addressed and investigated fully. The death of Vanessa Guillén in 2020 after she complained about sexual harassment by a supervisor led to legal reforms, including the I Am Vanessa Guillén Act, which criminalizes sexual harassment under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
