Leidos reported last month to Congress that it knows of no cases of sexual assault since it won the Antarctic Support Contract in 2016. But former employees of the U.S. Antarctic Program say that’s impossible.
Jennifer Sorenson was working as a food steward at McMurdo Station in Antarctica in December 2015 when a sexual relationship turned violent. Both she and her assailant were employed by subcontractors to Leidos, a Virginia-based company that provides logistical support for the U.S. Antarctic Program , whichsuffers from a “pervasive” culture of sexual assaults, harassment, and stalking.
after she tried to speak up for another USAP employee who had been sexually assaulted at McMurdo in late 2019. “They are full of shit.” Legislators expect Leidos and NSF to figure out a way to close those gaps. “It’s clear … that the Antarctic program lacks sufficient reporting structures and law enforcement mechanisms,” says a spokesperson for the science committee when asked to comment on the new data. The latter is a reference to aby NSF’s Office of Inspector General on current law enforcement policies that address sexual assaults and stalking. “We’ll be closely reviewing their work,” the spokesperson added.
Those numbers convey a different message to former USAP employees like Sorenson, Grundberg, and Elaine Hood, a former Leidos communications manager who resigned last year because of how the company has handled the issue. They see the data as an attempt by Leidos to play down or ignore reality. GHG responded promptly. “We have concluded that you were a victim of sexual harassment … [from] an incident that resulted in feelings of humiliation and extreme discomfort for you,” GHG President Joseph Willhelm wrote back 4 days later. Leidos “had assisted in the investigation,” he noted.
