Investigators in San Diego discovered a cache of several rolls of film that showed the manhandling of a 17-year-old girl who was partly disrobed by a corridorful of rowdy Navy and Marine aviators at the 1991 Tailhook Association convention in the Las Vegas Hilton Hotel. The snapshots detail an episode in which the hopelessly inebriated teenager staggers down the hall while drunken officers tear off parts of her clothing.

...incident turned up few culprits, because male pilots remained tight-lipped on the subject of after- hours "fun." Garrett's memo fiercely chastised the six men directly involved in the incident, but also targeted those who refused to cooperate with the investigation and the commanding officers present at the Hilton who ) did nothing to end the lewd goings-on.
