I hadn't heard about this before reading about it here on the site, but I haven't been on campus for a few weeks. I don't know if I ever met the DepComm and I don't have any additional insights into the situation.
But after I read about it here, I went to the social messaging app Jodel where it was mentioned a couple of times by various anonymous posters, most likely cadets. So it's definitely not being covered up; lots of people here seem to know about it. At the end of the day, I don't think any organization is going to want to advertise the fact that they have an alleged pedophile in their ranks. I'll have to think about whether or not I can recall any recent incident where a senior member of the West Point team got in trouble and the Academy came out pre-emptively with a statement about it. I can't come up with anything off the top of my head but I'll give it some more thought.
