  • サマリー

  • This investigative podcast tells the story of Adam DeRito. Adam is a member of the class of 2010, and worked as an undercover informant for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. When Adam reported these predators, many of them were intercollegiate athletes. A majority of them played for the Air Force Academy football team. The Superintendent at the time, Lt Gen Michael C. Gould, ensured that most of these criminal investigations were dismissed. As a result, those that reported sexual assault had their promising careers and livelihoods taken from them. When asked about the perpetual reoccurrences of rape and sexual assault over several decades, the Air Force Academy remains silent. The officers that tolerate this behavior lead our military today. The very military that has been mired in the Global War on Terror for nearly twenty years. Enough is enough. We the people of the United States must hold our military to a higher standard when it comes to taking care of our nation’s sons and daughters. Those who take the solemn oath to defend this nation “against all enemies, foreign and domestic.”

  • Chapter 21: SEASON FINALE PART 2; The Courage To Command
    2024/01/22

    This is the second half of the interview from Chapter Twenty, and the Season 2 Finale for Dark Sabre, we are talking about the failure of the CATCH Program which resulted in a Cadet Suicide at the United States Air Force Academy. 

    The episode gets heavy as there are discussions about the serial rapists being admitted to the Academy, Cadet Suicides, the type of people being recruited to the Academies, and we also discuss Division 1 Sports. We dive into the broken Mental Health Program at USAFA where this survivor and her rapist were assigned THE SAME mental health doctor! Part of this discussion is also about solutions on how to resolve these issues at the Federal Service Academies; and the solutions are very simple. Potential solutions? Make retaliation for mental health and sexual assault reporting illegal; move all sports to Division 3, and charge multiple leaders at the Air Force Academy under RICO. 

    Air Force OSI and the Office of the JAG are also discussed in this episode, and their levels of incompetence at the Air Force Academy, and how their investigative processes need to change at the Air Force Academy in order to ensure that survivors are getting justice. Justice delayed is justice denied. The process of unrestricted reporting in the military was and is designed to fail to give a false sense of security in the U.S. military; nevermind our Federal Service Academies. 

    The Association of Graduates is using its money and power at USAFA and the Graduate Community to ensure victims do not get justice. 

    The Air Force Academy is only used to speak over victims, not to speak for them.

    Have the Courage to Command.

  • Chapter 20: SEASON FINALE PART 1; Tommy Tutone and the Serial Rapist
    2024/01/22

    This was the longest interview of the season, and it will be broken into two parts. In the final two episodes of Dark Sabre for Season 2, we present to you the most infuriating interview conducted in several years of running this podcast. This heartbreaking interview details the horrific rape of a female Academy Cadet, and how not only was the perpetrator simply just dismissed from the Academy without serving prison time, but he allegedly raped other women at the Air Force Academy and got away with it. His punishment? Removed from the Academy. The Secretary of the Air Force has yet to decide whether he will serve enlisted time, or pay back the Academy. Keep in mind, this Cadet, once an Air Force Special Operations Candidate for Combat Rescue, allegedly committed multiple crimes and was simply allowed to walk away from the Air Force Academy. OSI and the SAPR office utterly failed in their investigations. The JAGS assigned to this case failed miserably. The Superintendent and the Secretary of the Air Force have done NOTHING to ensure that he was criminally held liable for raping multiple women at the Academy. It was kept quiet. 

    Several of these women who came forward, some of whom were interviewed this year (some still pending for Season 3) were ridiculed and lambasted by their peers. Others decided not to come forward because they were too embarassed and could not take the pressure of the military court system due to the lack of professionalism of the SAPR (Sexual Assault Prevention Response) group (Who I refer to as Tommy Tutone running an Excel Sheet within the episode), the inaction of the Superintendent Lt Gen Richard Clarke, the failure of the Commandant General Moga, and the embarassing response of the Secretary of the Air Force. This womans mental health was sacrified just to keep things quiet and keep the image of the United States Air Force Academy polished. 

    If this episode doesn't make you want to call your Congressional Members to help the Dark Sabre Project push for the DeRito Act (See episode 1 of Season 2) and or infuriate the Graduate Community of the United States Air Force Academy to demand accountability of these officers to be removed from their positions, and to insitute real change at our Federal Service Academies, then we don't know what to tell you.  You are part of the problem of why we still have to interview women being forcabily raped when they still have tampons in. Yes. That has actually happened, more than once. Be the change. Make the Air Force Academy and our Federal Service Academies great again.
