Rodman has been charged with aggravated sexual battery, object sexual penetration, forcible sodomy and abduction with intent to defile.
Police said Rodman was wearing his TSA uniform during the assault.
Rodman was immediately removed from security operations pending an investigation, according to the TSA.
I spoke too soon (see above):
Yah, he was immediately removed from security operations but not by the TSA and not pending investigation. It's pending trial and conviction. He was arrested by the police, arraigned and ordered held without bond until trial by the judge.
The TSA had absolutely nothing to do with his removal from security operations. Unless they conduct the security operations in the local lockup. The police and the judge removed him from security operations and, at least for the moment, from society. Trial is in January.
As for the TSA saying "The Privacy Act precludes the agency from disclosing..." well, fortunately, the courtrooms in the country are, for the moment, public places and the record is public. Someone in Manassas might want to publish the court proceedings to save the TSA the embarrassment of having to repeat that old saw.
