A U.S. Army sergeant who served as a sexual-assault prevention coordinator at Fort Hood, Texas, is under investigation on allegations including “abusive sexual contact” and “pandering,” according to the Pentagon.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel responded to the Fort Hood case by ordering the military services to retrain all sexual-assault prevention personnel and military recruiters, Pentagon spokesman George Little said in an e-mailed statement.
