Specifically we allege that they deprived them of their substantive due process procedural due process equal protection and 1st amendment rights. Made me sick to see everybody stories. How they kind of closely tied together everybodys story somehow has a its consistent with the military does to People Like Us overlooks things that they put in place are all pretty much intended to oh women deal with being raped better thats what theyre about. And join the military for us from a sphere of high school awning to serve my country and do new things and challenge. Differently. I was in the army about 7 or 8 years before anything ever happened to me. By another c. I. T. Agent who was senior to me. I was contacted by an agent with 4 riley c. Id who said they were investigating the suspect as a serial rapist who had raped several military Law Enforcement women and i thought there was no way that you know he wouldnt be convicted and i have a difficult time with anything as well the fact that i had an almost 10 year career which i was very invested in and i gave that up to report a sex offender who was not even put to justice or put on the registry and hes probably doing the same thing right now and one female attendant told me if i had to tell me that you know shed heard about my case and she thought she could talk to me is one female marine to another and she told me what he did was capitalize on an opportunity that you presented to him thats not the same thing as rape and you need to know. Hes from after i have and they mean me to go and i with them and i try to having everybody advocate for me not make me go so just can deal with seeing him so their solution to that was just to put him right in front of me as i see him the whole time so that i could know where he was and know that he wasnt able to do anything since right in front of me and i remember thinking the entire time where upon the hills and camp when they define him steeper. Theres no way out of it i mean if you think about it the only way out of it is like a suicide or a wall street so thats those are your only 2 options suicide a wall or deal with it right now im just barely appreciating. Learning how to appreciate being a woman again as 11 years. And. Im trying to have fun with it not forcing myself to have fun. Im trying really hard not to cry but it just. You know and watching you girls having to. Go through it i mean it makes me want to explode being here and like knowing that me wanting to commit suicide im not alone me being hit raped and not all everything the way that they treated me the way that they made me feel not alone and we have all you guys with all your knowledge and everything you guys are going to stand right you know its all sort of this instance. I think the woman who are coming forward in this lawsuit are very courageous they because theyre putting their names out there for criticism. Theyre putting their names out there to go down and his truth is they were the ones who got raped and theres one thing you want to go through life with. Today i stand in solidarity with the courageous women and men who serve in our Nations Armed forces the inspirational plaintiffs you see before you are a small handful of the 10s of thousands of troops and veterans whove been sexually brutalized by their fellow Service Members while defending our nation it is time to finally acknowledge that the military judicial system is broken when it comes to these cases my name is and in my case my command was unwilling to help me i went for help several times with other petty officers and i i was denied help even with other men saying please get her away from him and it was it was still out many. People were telling me dont go to the public dont let this get out because itll make the military look bad i really feel like my social responsibility to speak out about this issue especially considering my investigative experience and the fact that the military Justice System allows so many offenders to escape justice. Thanks for being willing to fill me in a little bit on some of the experiences i name is reaching and i served honorably in United States marine corps for 4 years playing miss corey choke and i served in the United States coast guard i was harassed and sexually assaulted i was administrative leave discharges no benefit for 9 and a half years of Service Women should not bear their burden that is not part of what we should have been doing to do our jobs for time a criminal activity were talking about a vicious. Attack that it is criminal it is an assault. Almost none of the Court Martial and all of the ones that do almost none of them resulting convictions seems to me all the time times that ive looked at these things and the command is the one who has so much discretion i think i advocate should actually be civilians once they work in the military i think we should have actual units civilian units it absolutely tears in my inside to think that this is been going on for as long as its been going on and weve never addressed it all people in the military must know if youre a perpetrator of Sexual Assault against someone else military. Youre going to be held accountable. Were feeding our hopes our dreams our desires our money to compete this creates a war do we get back to you know i like you thats thats a bad deal so when this technology jumping out of this week when is that going to help you need to keep you healthy for it or to keep me you know connected and i missed it so we will live in an area the post screen area where we will live with all these screens and it will be more in harmony or will help us more. Yes will this is how the fruit. Bowl sunday. You know what it do to keep the number. Of you to. Look at the. People. At. A pretty long. Time to. Some some. Locals that will put him in his. Usual usual pool at the newsroom. With a simple tool. Why dont we go to war because we view the key to Economic Growth as oil and energy we go to war is Vice President cheney said for the oil thats why they invaded iraq for the oil thats why trump says the one thing we want to syria we really dont want to go to war with russia we want to just control the oil. And the gas lines and the pipelines through afghanistan so the military is really an extension of and. World energy of oil. Is youll be a reflection of reality. In a world transformed. What will make you feel safe. Isolation. Are you going the right way or are you being so. Direct. What is true. Is faith. In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Aura made of the shallows. And so cod i found it tremendously frustrating when i would demonstrate that an offender commit an offense and taking it to a commander and having a commander be the deciding authority you know i dont think commanders are capable of making. An object of decision i dont i do not think it should be in their hands so he was just seeking to do discretion away from yes absolutely congresswoman davis and i are both on the Armed Services committee there are a number of issues that youve raised that makes me want to go back and particularly take another look an emotional one individual basis what happens after a crime like that has been committed its a very difficult thing to go through and dont think i dont know i know. The fact that youre willing to tell me your stories firsthand makes it much easier for us to go back and just say you know these are policies that we have to change its a big its a big big deal but you do it really find people like you who will stand up for us thank you so much. Everything they do. To me its make you get people nervous thanks for your time mr speaker last year the military received over 3000 reports of Sexual Assault involving other members into service this week 17 batteries are saying that the military ignored their cases of Sexual Assault while they were on active duty today im going to talk about the men corey chokmah who served in the coast guard from august 2005 to june 2007 she now separates from p. T. S. D. And abnormal e. G. Did a nerve damage in her faith. Choker later told the press its like they didnt care it wasnt important i wasnt. Going to play out. For this cross. There is my way. This is. Effective october 20th 2009 my overall combined rating is 70 percent. We Service Connection for anxieties deny Service Connection for displacement and bilateral bilateral this displacement is denied. Us. Oh my god. Well be right there should. We face doesnt have any desks in it thats what the x. Rays show thats what dr karp those letters show you do not medical the winners are extra. Nice to see you again and thank you for coming im going to play a short Public Service announcement and then we can entertain questions i think the prevention aspect of Sexual Assault goes back in some ways to Risk Reduction what it what is Risk Reduction Risk Reduction are ideas like telling women to if theyre going to go somewhere together always have a buddy with them. Are there other examples of risk. I mean i didnt im not familiar that thats out of my area of expertise. Well i want to continue where dr whitley left off looking at what our focus is and thats on prevention as well as as response weve really done a very good job there and the credit goes to dr whitley and her staff that has been working this for the last 5 to 6 years i dont think the department of defense has has really yet embraced that they have a Sexual Assault problem that its not just an issue of the culture environment so that the people are at risk for Sexual Assault that their system itself though just does not value the rights of victims and doesnt provide the medical protection you know i have heard the accusations as well that you know commanders are sweeping this under the carpet now what i would say to the people that have come forward to you is if you feel your commander is ignoring what you have have asked them to do if theyre not taking care of you within that chain of command you need to go to the d. O. D. That are part of the fence Inspector General the g. A. O. General Accounting Office just did a study a report and guess what not one. One case of more than 2500 has been reviewed and investigated by the Inspector General and when asked about that the Inspector General said we have other higher priorities what what you really want is you want there to be a system akin to a civilian system where you go to the police and you youre in the crime is prosecuted by an impartial judicial system as a commander you have no favorites you are equally to take care of every Single Person in your organization thats what commanders are all about these are human beings just like everybody else you cannot be impartial when you are already involved with people in other settings i would take exception with your characterization that the disposition of the case is based on the relationship between the commander. And he alleged perpetrator. Im going to speak to you with my former commanders had on there is absolutely no conflict of interest you do what the right thing is to do. d you have other avenues and those if you feel like you have not been taken care of adequately by your commander go up through your congressman or congresswoman and file a complaint that way you cannot you cant go to a congressman to be to obtain justice for being raped i mean imagine how silly that is imagine if you told civilians that oh geez sorry you were raped go talk to your congressman. You could Say Something to this guy but what you want to say. I dont think its affected his life it on. And people in my old squadron that ive talked to. They say they dont see any effect that has had on him and that hurts. Because its a struggle every day its completely changed to i. Am really hoping that he falls off the coast guard but they never find him im really hoping for that like they fight for so poor mishap got chopped up by the proper. Big that would be great thered be an exciting but i price over and. I hope this reaches them too you know i hope that someone or someone sees my face you know wherever it is and goes. I know them and theyre talking about me. Because they know what they did you know and then although half the mater is some friend they goes hey we station with her. You know and then they cant be a secret anymore. So hopefully they have to deal with it to you know some way shape or. Most rapists. Repetitive criminals that its a kind of crime that has an obsessive quantities to people do it again and again so the tragedy of that is that every one of these guys who gets off free will be doing it to other women again and again often for years. The average sex offender in their lifetime has about 300 victims and the vast majority of sex offenders will never be caught a lot of civilians see it as being a military problem but it really isnt because 5 percent or a louse of reported offenders are convicted. So almost none of them wind up on the sex offender registry there is no military sex offender list that im aware of but if youre convicted in court felony conviction of sex offense of a sex offense youre going to go on the National List for any sex of various words were correct that is not the case it depends on what level conviction they got if they received over a year then thats considered a felony but a lot of these cases are pled down so that theyre not felonies the military doesnt like to prosecute people and keep. As felony convictions i often ask myself the question why wouldnt why would they stop and if theres nothing to stop them like incarceration or some other light major life change theyre going to continue. If you run the sexual predator through the judicial system and then you get a slap on the hand all youve done is youve done the equivalent of the kitchen release program youve caught up youve educated now you released him back in the home town america he now knows a lot more about the Law Enforcement judicial system than he did when he 1st started which makes him a much more cape. Criminal a much more dangerous criminal they go on to literally prey on women and men in our neighborhoods across the United States i mean if we dont care about women or men in the military then we hopefully should care about women and men in our girls and boys in our neighborhoods back home. Were. The thing that broke my heart more than anything about this story was the young women who went in with such ideas and i want to serve my country i want to give back to see a Young Persons hope and i do this and crushed in that brutal way i think we owe people love and that. Increasingly women are becoming some of the best trained professionals that we have in the military these are great soldiers and we cant afford to lose them. Cant have it interact with. People deeply believe in their hearts to serve their country they should be given that chance with respect. You know its part of really harm american way if you dont leave just your purple hearts because we were wounded in time or you know youre going to give us one you know very just saying maybe there should be written for women you. Are served and she who have survived it is your. We have a good army a good military but not a great one and this is the kind of issue there. Keeps our military from being great. We can view this as a shared challenges not just a womans issue its not just something that the military has to deal with but as a society were all in this together. Its our national duty. Now gone for it do 50 noise he could number 2 number one with him kids are getting good looking momentum and going to. Eat him all the good that the person that of all who signed up for the olympics it has a. Closer look at the guy on the day. At the results and i dont have a pretty wallet he was and is not a titan is a. Message that motivates you to see other senior folks and some of it to. Go.
