WASHINGTON (CNN) — A Navy admiral lied when he told investigators he couldn’t remember the name of a woman he had an affair with while serving as President George H.W. Bush’s military aide in 1990, according to a report released Friday by the Defense Department. Rear Adm. John “Boomer” Stufflebeem also lied when he told investigators he did not engage in sexual relations with the woman, identified as “Jane Doe,” the Defense Department’s inspector general’s report said. Jane Doe, who was then unmarried and working for a federal agency, told the investigators that the allegations were “all true,” the report said. Her supervisor and Stufflebeem’s superiors supported her testimony. Stufflebeem was convicted on April 18 of making “false official statements” to investigators probing the allegations. Following the hearing, called an “admiral’s mast,” he requested retirement. In March, when the report was initially submitted to Pentagon officials, he was demoted and fired from his post as director of the Navy staff. Jane Doe told investigators that she and Stufflebeem began their affair while both were on an overseas trip in 1989, that the married admiral told her he was a widower who was raising his children as a single parent and that they had sexual relations several times, including once in a White House room reserved for “military aides with overnight duties.” |
