Gay Porn Sites Now Part Of Military Nude Photo Scandal, Report Says

The military’s nude photo scandal has now reportedly expanded from social media sites to gay pornography sites with images of men in military garb performing sex acts and many also showed group sex, USA Today reported Friday.

The Department of Defense created a joint task force to widen the scope of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service’s (NCIS) probe, according to the report, and investigators will try to determine if active duty service members violated military law.

An unnamed source told USA Today that it could be possible to identify if the men allegedly involved were active duty because NCIS had charged “dozens” of investigators to scour web pages.

Originally, the scandal involved active duty and veteran Marine Corps members sharing and posting pictures of female Marines in a Facebook group called Marines United. But since the military began its investigation, it’s scope has broadened with more reports implicating all branches of the military.

The images reportedly depict men in uniforms from every branch on microblog Tumblr sites, with some showing the men participating in sex acts. Similar to the alleged female victims, it’s also possible the pictures were posted without consent.

Other pictures show servicemen dressed and even their name tags can be seen.

Lawmakers on the Senate Armed Services Committee, who had held hearings with the nation’s top Marine and Gen. Robert Neller earlier this week, said the scandal had gotten out of hand.

"This scandal is out of control and the Department of Defense needs to get a handle on it immediately," Sen. Kristin Gillibrand of New York told USA TODAY in a statement. "Congress needs to demand accountability from the chain of command as to how so many service members, both women and men now, could be so easily exploited. Commanders have told us for decades that they can handle these issues, clearly they cannot, and Congress should step up and do its job and bring professionalism and accountability to the military justice system that has ignored predators for far too long.”
