Initially dismissed as “overenthusiasm” by superiors, including Brig Gen Ryan, 2LTB was left unsupervised and continued his conduct unchecked. Recruits described being treated like “dirt,” with no safe outlet to report abuse, fueling fears of a culture that silenced victims. Lawyers deny targeting Mullaney, claiming no formal process existed for the incidents, while the tribunal investigates whether abuse was actively discouraged. These hearings, part of a broader reckoning following a 2023 report exposing rape and sexual assault, are set to conclude July 10th.
