Marine Corps commandant orders new investigation of sexual harassment at Quantico after a first review was done by an accused. Marine Corps Commandant Robert Neller has ordered a new investigation into allegations of sexual harassment brought by two civilian employees against a Marine officer, according to a Marines statement.
