Fort Hood has taken action to strengthen the safety of its sprawling installation and the well-being of its personnel after a soldier sexually assaulted four female soldiers on post, said Col. Mark R. McClellan, Fort Hood Garrison Commander.
In April 2025, Sgt. Greville Clarke was sentenced to life in prison for sexually assaulting the victims, McClellan said.
Stars & Stripes recently reported Fort Hood officials chose not to warn the public as Clarke attacked female soldiers in their barracks over an 18-month period.
“These assaults, which occurred within the barracks, represent a grave violation of the trust and safety every service member deserves,” McClellan further said in statement emailed to KWTX.
Clarke committed his crimes between 2021 and 2022 against five fellow soldiers, attacking them in their barracks rooms.
He was apprehended on Oct. 3, 2022, and held in pretrial confinement throughout the duration of the investigation and court-martial.
In addition of being found guilty of rape and kidnapping, the military judge also convicted him of attempted premeditated murder, assault with the intent to commit rape, burglary, robbery, aggravated sexual contact, aggravated assault, assault with intent to commit kidnapping, assault consummated by battery, indecent visual recording, and obstruction of justice.
The victims continue to receive “comprehensive care and support services,” according to the garrison commander.
“In the wake of this tragedy, Fort Hood leaders conducted a full-scale review of its security protocols, investigative procedures, and victim support systems. As a result, we have taken action to strengthen the safety of our installation and the well-being of our personnel,” Col. McClellan said.
“We recognize that rebuilding trust takes time and sustained commitment. Fort Hood leaders remain fully dedicated to learning from the past, addressing systemic gaps, and creating an environment where every Soldier feels safe, supported, and heard. We urge anyone with concerns or information related to safety to report them through their chain of command, the military police, or CID without hesitation.”
