Coast Guard Gunner’s Mate Jesse Phillips claims drunk colleague sexually assaulted him after members were forced to share BEDS during drill weekend [Video]

A member of the US Coast Guard has begged the service to hold sexual abusers accountable after accusing them of brushing off allegations he was attacked by a colleague, DailyMail.com can reveal.

Jesse Phillips, 42, claims he was assaulted by a fellow member of the Coast Guard while on a drill weekend in 2022.

The 23-year veteran was told that the USCG had ‘no jurisdiction’ over the assault, because his alleged attacker was a ‘inactive reservist’ and there was nothing they could do.

His lawyer, Peter Gleason, claims that the Coast Guard created a ‘predatory environment’ with ‘inadequate sleeping arrangements’ – forcing two male members to share a bed.
