I bet you want to work for the DOI now

That's Department of the Interior for all you non-gubmint types. Yeah, we here at M2M are simply fascinated by the report on the sex and drug scandal that happened at the Revenue In Kind (RIK) division of the DOI (the folks that regulate oil drilling on federal land). By itself just the term DOI and RIK would knock us into a deep sleep. But zowie, this stuff is near Cinemax After Dark quality:

The RIK employee recalled that on one occasion in late 2004, (Gregory W. Smith, RIK Program Director) telephoned her repeatedly asking for drugs. She said she provided cocaine to him early that evening, but he continued to call her. Eventually, she said, Smith traveled to her house and wanted her to have sex with him. She said he also asked her if she had more cocaine, and she stated that she did not but that someone who was staying with her might. She said Smith obtained crystal methamphetamine from one of these individuals and she watched him snort it off the toaster oven in her kitchen. The RIK employee also said she and Smith engaged in oral sex that evening.

And here is a section that should have anyone that works in the rape and sexual abuse prevention field screaming...

We interviewed yet another RIK employee who stated that in approximately 2005, Smith "insisted" that she ride in his car from one business establishment to another, and she agreed. This employee stated that Smith took "the long way" between the two businesses, and during the drive, he asked to go to her nearby home, but she refused. "He wanted to have sex; I said no," she recalled; Smith then asked if she would have oral sex with him, but she told him she did not want to. She said Smith then "basically forced [her] head into his lap," and she performed oral sex on him while he drove the car slowly. She said she resisted Smith when he pulled her head into his lap, but Smith did not relent and continued to pull her head down. She said Smith was "real persistent" but not violent, and she did not feel as though she had been sexually assaulted by Smith.

Nice. And what a department! Can you imagine a conversation between a female RIK employee and say an exotic dancer?

RIK employee: "So, what do you do?"


Exotic dancer: "I'm a dancer at a gentlemen's club. I spend my evenings naked while having strange men grope me and shove money down my crotch. You?"
RIK employee: "Oh, I work for the Revenue In Kind division of the Department of the Interior."
Exotic dancer: "What? Get the hell away from me you slut! Don't you have any respect for yourself?!"
