      Just to spell it out:

      Promotions are based on performance. After a few promotions, you have people that report to you. This means their performance is your performance. So the CoC properly handling rape allegations is against their own self interest.

      There’s a documentary called the invisible war that covers this topic in excruciating detail.

      Nope, I found no wrongdoing.
