US Coast Guard Academy official Shannon Norenberg resigns, accuses leaders of lying to sexual assault victims and Congress in a decades-long cover-up.

A US Coast Guard Academy official, Shannon Norenberg, has resigned and accused top leaders of directing her to lie to sexual assault victims and Congress as part of a decades-long cover-up. Norenberg claims she was involved in an "unwitting accomplice" in the cover-up and can no longer stay silent. She had been working to improve the culture and help victims of sexual assault at the academy. She will testify at a congressional hearing this week about the issue.
