FOX 13 Investigates: Utah National Guard works to prevent domestic violence as one soldier’s case drags on
PROVO, Utah — Leah Olszewski played a room full of Utah National Guard soldiers and employees a recording she made of her former boyfriend.
Both Olszewski and her then-boyfriend were in the military at the time. While he’s denied ever abusing Olszewski, she says she was a victim of domestic violence. And she’s been urging not so much for reform to how the military addresses domestic violence, but that commanders enforce policies on the books and take the problems seriously.
“When it's not dealt with [in] that closed organization, the quiet actually hurts the case and hurts the victim clearly and enables the offender more.” It was a year before the Utah National Guard assigned her victim’s counsel to navigate the guard’s processes for victims. Andrew Kalinen is the Utah National Guard’s sexual assault response coordinator, and he attended Olszewski’s presentation, too. He could not discuss the Marx case, but said if guard commanders or administrators learn of domestic violence, they are obligated to call police.
