The Air Force says it's investigating alleged aggravated sexual contact by a woman officer at a launch facility at Malmstrom Air Force Base.

The officer told Air Force investigators in March that she had been sexually assaulted by a male officer in December 2007 while the two were on duty together. The male has been temporarily reassigned during the investigation, while the duty status of the female is unknown.

In a statement released Thursday (8/28) Malmstrom Spokesman Lt. Korry Leverett said, "The Air Force has zero tolerance for sexual misconduct and takes seriously any allegation of criminal conduct. Air Force leadership is currently evaluating the case and will determine if disciplinary action is necessary."
