He had unlocked the door and hed come in and he had an erection and he tried to get me to touch him i took my right hand and i pushed him in the chest and started to yell for the other guys to kind of hear me. He hit me across. The left side of my face i remember. Holding the closet thinking what just happened. To my face hurt so. When we went to the command about it me and this petty officer who saw my face. They just let it wait because they didnt want any kind of problems going on. A couple weeks later i needed the key to do my cleanup so i knocked on his door and he said ok yeah come on in here and here and i said no no im going to wait out here.

S. Military if you take into account that women dont report because of the extreme retaliation and that was you know more than a decade ago i would say you could easily double that number and its probably somewhere near about half a 1000000 women have now been sexually assaulted in the.

Was excited and completely just hyped up about going and all my family was proud of me. As my biggest hero. Told us of your own being taken care of and i guess thats one of the hard things that i have to accept because i told her that she would be. Whos in february we got a call. One who is dying and he. Rubbed his hand all over my entire body and. He said i own all of this. And i was absolutely scared didnt know what to do my dad. When the 1st time she said it was bad. And. I said. What happened he said i was right. And youre a virgin. Because. Tribute. Dont ever think youre. My main nerve in my spine and places and my hips. My title is director of military plans and personnel policy for the navy. We have specifically trained judge advocates our navy lawyers in our Naval Criminal Investigative Service those investigators are all specifically trained in sexual solve any report of a Sexual Assault is fully investigated in the United States navy they didnt take care of it for a year and a half they were tracking down witnesses they had all these students that are. And they can walk them down and say hey youre only hold talking to statement and i didnt and i went through 3 investigators it was like ok im giving this case thats what its sort of felt like oh right im giving this case im going to take care of it oh well this is really want to really want to deal with it females would come up to their commanders or their and ceos and say that they were either sexually assaulted or abused and i dont think it was taken seriously i think a lot of times a cursory investigation was done and they were basically told to just suck it up a member bring in a Young Service member been brutally raped and bring her in to see or command and try to make sure that this girl was take care properly and this idiot. The city chewed her off for crying in order to stop crocus spilt milk out of time and the credibility of the witness was called into account had the potential victim had she made claims like this in the past there was a lot of witch hunting going on i was ordered to advise a victim of her rights for false statement when i knew that she wasnt lying i was asked to bring her in advise her of her rights like a criminal and interrogate her for false statement until i got the truth out of her. What we hear again and again from soldiers who have been raped is that as bad as it was being raped what was as bad if not worse was to receive professional fratelli ation in their chosen career merely because they were raped when you report something. You better be prepared for the repercussions if a man gets accused of rape its a setup the womans life i could choose to report it but if i wasnt if you know if they found that what i was saying wasnt to be truthful than i would be reduced in rank you could lose your rate you could lose rank you could lose your school if you file a false report d so do you want to file a report. With the. Everything in the 1st my friend numerate me they sound believe me i reported it to different times to my squad leader and he told me that there is nothing he can do about it doesnt have any proof they actually did charge me with adultery. I wasnt married he was they took me before mike my and the tank commander and he says you think this is funny and i said what do you mean his like a solid job like what do you make the 3rd girl report rape this week even as they all in cahoots you think is a game. Ok and how hard is i usually take a. Really. Hard 39. 114 months when. There is going to be a way. Mine is new. But if we were there. This goes everywhere with me. And this goes everywhere with me. You always have protection with jesus but sometimes you need just a little bit more. To go. It was they c of course they. They ordered they ordered a packet. But heres some make up. The shit they should know you should know whats wrong with me like read my stuff and youll see that its my face its not my back its not my legs my arms its my main need to prove i dont even know what your case is even like honoring the know why waste the gas money the trip anything it was completely a waste of time what a good veterans day right. Its a perfect way to spend. It. Because it was an isolated duty station they were in charge and we were just like cattle. It was the 1st time i was drugged and raped i was this room where some of my friends and i only had like one or 2 drinks and when laying down it was like instantly i was not feeling well and came to having a pillow over my head in my friend. Raping me. And that went on repeatedly. Most sex offenders are hunters just like any hunter they study their prey they study their movements to study the behaviors they study the environment. You have rapists that prey on other human beings they they stalk them they they wait until the victim is that the most vulnerable point in time to perpetrate their crimes a lot of times the victim is somebody that the suspect is very familiar with and theyre very aware of whats going on most sex offenders have this hidden persona that nobody ever sees except for the victim therefore when theyre caught or if somebody reports people dont tend to believe that because they dont see the typical sex offender if its an officer its an officer that has had a bit chilly in the past preyed on and enlisted they would do it once they get away with it and then they think wow this was pretty easy im going to try to get and particularly for a savvy perpetrator to work within a relatively closed system like the military it becomes a prime.
