The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has pledged to improve how it deals with sexual assault and harassment reports after an internal review found it had previously mishandled such allegations.

In a statement published on June 2, CIA Director William Burns said that the agency has expanded the resources available to those who have witnessed or been victims of sexual assault, sexual harassment, discrimination, and other forms of harassment. He added that the agency has also increased its capacity to address such reports from employees.
