Allegations of Orgies Spark Federal Probe Into VA Facility
Congressional investigation uncovers widespread sexual misconduct at Tennessee VA facility, sparking resignations and intensified scrutiny.
VA center, Johnson City, TN
A congressional investigation into sexual misconduct at the Mountain Home VA Medical Center in Tennessee has revealed shocking allegations, including claims of an orgy involving 12 employees, and one male staffer proportedly engaging in sexual relationships with 32 female co-workers. The revelations have led to resignations and intensified scrutiny of the troubled facility.
According to sources, the biomedical employee boasted about his relationships with several women through an online government communication portal. At least two individuals admitted to engaging in sexual activity on hospital grounds. The investigation has yet to determine whether the alleged orgy occurred on government property.

"The fact that the culture would even allow this to happen in the first place is absolutely wild, and it all starts at the top," a senior congressional aide said.
Facility director Dean Borsos is among at least four employees who have resigned since the allegations surfaced, which reportedly date back to 2020. Congressional investigators have raised concerns over the leadership’s handling of claims, citing a systemic culture problem at the VA center.
The House Committee on Veterans Affairs launched the inquiry after whistleblowers brought the allegations to light. Committee Chairman Michael Bost (R-Ill.) addressed a letter to VA Secretary Denis McDonough in July, requesting documentation from the facility. A follow-up letter in August reiterated the demand after an initial lack of response. Bost highlighted additional allegations of sexual harassment and assault and accused facility leadership of failing to address them adequately.
"This new information is extremely disturbing and leads the Committee to believe there may be a serious culture problem at the Mountain Home VA," Bost stated.
Tennessee lawmakers Rep. Diana Harshbarger and Sen. Marsha Blackburn have supported the investigation. Blackburn described the allegations as “serious and disgusting,” adding that taxpayers deserve transparency and accountability.
The ongoing investigation could shift under President-elect Donald Trump’s incoming administration. His nominee to lead the VA, Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), has been a vocal critic of the department. The VA, which employs over 370,000 healthcare workers, is responsible for serving the needs of American veterans and has faced previous controversies under the Biden administration.
As the investigation continues, the VA Inspector General's office and congressional leaders seek to uncover the full extent of misconduct and hold responsible parties accountable.
