Army Investigated Bowe Bergdahl for Harrassment, Found Allegations to Be False

ABC News(NEW YORK) — Bowe Bergdahl was investigated earlier this year following an allegation of harrassment, but the U.S. Army North said Thursday it cleared him of wrongdoing.

Bergdahl was accused by a fellow soldier who lived in his barracks at Fort Sam Houston in Texas. U.S. Army North spokesperson Lt. Col. Tim Beninato said in a statement Thursday that “the Army takes any allegation of Soldier misconduct very seriously,” and that an investigation found the accusation to be untrue and “determined that no disciplinary action was warranted” in Bergdahl’s case.

Beninato added that the U.S. Army North Command “promptly addressed [the allegation] with the Soldiers involved.”

“Since February,” he noted, “no further issues have been brought to the attention of this command.”
