Sexual Assault is not a matter to be handled in the Civil Rights/Equal

Opportunity arena - it is a criminal matter that will be handled under

the Uniform Code of Military Justice or by Civil Authorities as

appropriate.

The Coast Guard will not tolerate any instanceof rape or sexual assault.Personnel who commit acts of sexual assault will be dealt with

swiftly and punished severely under the UCMJ or the Criminal court

system.

Sexual assault violates every fiber of the core values instilled in each

and every Coast Guard man and woman. There is no room in our

Coast Guard for those who commit acts of sexual assault.

There are significant emotional and legal issues involved in every

case of sexual assault which must be dealt with sensitivity and with

attention to detail. COMDTINST 1754.10B provides commands, CGIS,

medical and support personnel with additional guidance in dealingwith cases of sexual assault.

Telling a dirty joke because you think its really funny

Asking a colleague for a date for the first time

Staring at a colleague of the opposite sex

It is acceptable to ask a colleague for a date as long as you are not breaking any

fraternization rules. Its important to consider the impact of a joke and how it will

be received. Staring, while usually considered rude is not harassment unless you

make the recipient uncomfortable. But trading employment or advancementrewards for sexual favors is always considered sexual harassment.
