Denver7's Tony Kovaleski tells Colorado Army National Guard Specialist Adam Derito's story in this shocking investigative segment. Read the story here.
WE NEED AN HONEST AIR FORCE ACADEMY, AN HONEST MILITARY, AND AN HONEST GOVERNMENT. JOIN US ON OUR MISSION TO MAKE REAL CHANGE AT OUR SERVICE ACADEMIES!

The United States Air Force Academy has been plagued with scandal after scandal over the years, and yet nothing changes. Join the Honor Hill team as they investigate these scandals and hear testimonials from USAFA Staff members, current Cadets, and prior Cadets. Learn about the cover ups, destruction of evidence, falsification of medical records, and the Academy’s corrupt leadership.
For over the last decade, Adam DeRito has not only been fighting for justice in his case, but dozens of other Cadets and Midshipmen from all the Federal Service Academies. It is time to return our Federal Service Academies to what they were intended to be: to produce the best military officers in the world, and not focus on Division 1 Sports.

MEET ADAM DERITO
Adam DeRito is a prior Air Force Academy Cadet and a current paratrooper in the Colorado Army National Guard. Adam has served as a Special Forces Parachute Rigger, deployed within Colorado to protect local citizens from damaging wildfires, to Washington D.C. for the 2020 Presidential Inauguration, assisted in the evacuation of allied partners in the withdrawal from Afghanistan, and has also served in the Middle East while working as a CENTCOM Intelligence Analyst in Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Spartan Shield during the Global War on Terror.
DeRito entered the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in Colorado Springs, CO in 2006. He was discharged 30 days after graduation when he was falsely accused of fraternization. He was asked to leave with no formal discharge process, and required to pay for the degree he completed but never received. Adam believes he was retaliated against for discovering and reporting a high level of sexual assaults by cadets after he was coerced to work for the Office of Special Investigations (OSI.)
Several years after he left the academy, (while he was serving in the Colorado National Guard), Adam learned that an Air Force psychologist said she had evaluated Adam and diagnosed him with multiple psychological issues. He NEVER met with this doctor, and the records were added more than a year after he left the Academy.
Adam has filed a lawsuit against the United States of America, and has been an advocate for change within our military judicial system for cases concerning sexual assault, harassment, and retaliation.
Join Adam in his journey on the Dark Sabre Podcast, and help make our nations military better by helping those who have become survivors of an imperfect system.
