JOINT BASE LEWIS McCHORD, Washington —

A woman living on Joint Base Lewis-McChord has accused a special agent with the Army Criminal Investigation Command of sexually assaulting her during a search at her home that was carried out as part of a drug investigation, KIRO 7 news partner The News Tribune reported Wednesday.

From the Tribune:

The woman said the sexual assault took place at her residence at JBLM on April 12.
