In another case of abuse and visa fraud, Harold Countryman, a US diplomat assigned to Seoul, South Korea, along with his spouse Kimberly, brought a Cambodian woman to work for them in the US with a falsified US visa application. On being caught, the couple pleaded guilty to visa fraud, and are paying the Cambodian woman $50,000 in restitution, Van Buren said. Harold Countryman, the diplomat, only received probation, however.

In another case, Kerry Howard, the community-liaison officer at the US Consulate in Naples, claims she was bullied, harassed and forced to resign after complaining about the consul general's Donald Moore's alleged office trysts with subordinates and hookers. One subordinate was allegedly forced to have an abortion.

In yet another case of sexual assault, Chuck Lisenbee, a former State Department Beirut security officer who was being probed for allegedly sexually assaulting local guards, is now a special agent in Washington for the Office of Diplomatic Vehicles, Enforcement and Outreach, Van Buren said, citing a State Department phone directory.
