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 Assault 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 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 feel like 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 him to see or command and try to make sure that this girl was taken care of properly and this idiot. Towards spilt milk the time 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 that 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 ed to make me this sound leave me a report of the d 2 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 make my hand the tank commander and he says you think this is funny and i said what do you mean his like a solid job is like what do you mean they go see 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. Really. Hard. I mean thats. Like 14 months with. The v. A. Mine is new. But we were there 1st and then. 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. We should have they should know you should know whats wrong with me like read my stuff and youll see thats my face its not my back its not my legs my arms its my need to prove i dont even know what your case is even like honoring the know why waste that 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 family had like one or 2 drinks and when laid down it was like instantly i was not feeling well and came to having a pillow over my head in my friend. Raping me. 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 the 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. A target rich environment for a predator. What a was discharged they moved to seattle or things got really bad. I started to lose everything. Is homeless. There is the diction i was selling drugs crack a guy. 40 percent of homeless female veterans have been raped while they were surfing they spit into such depression and it appears that they cant hold jobs they can hold their lives together and they end up on the streets when i 1st saw training as a gemini and i look over and it was like the universe was like a gal. In my head i was like you are. There are some special of our. Wow for hair when we 1st started dating it was hard. The biggest hurdle was not taking p. T. S. D. Personally it does get really stressful im sort of said to have never known for you know beforehand what she was sort of in her in her prime now shes anxious and sad a lot. Going to go going to go perfect even. If they come. From. My terms if i can for out doing something and you know michel be like check in like oh its ok 3 minutes are ever appreciative of it you know but it makes me really sad that heres this little 11 year old boy thats watching out for my well be. It hurts you know i wanted to go away. You know and it doesnt go away. We go to work. Straight home. All that sure her has created excess body for the majority of people worldwide and that impairs immunity and therefore makes us more vulnerable to infection and during this period. When were more isolated in our all. We. Want to eat more sugar thats really the worst thing people can do to janets coming in it is clearly it is just very clear that its those there are. Symptoms of other facets of the health of communities and its those individuals that are 8 coming into the hospitals its those individuals that are sadly. Its ultimately because they. Dysregulation their formidable. Something. I think the men that we attract to the military you know weve got to the army of one you know be all you can be all those themes that weve had throughout the years very very heavily masculine masculinity cannot be victimized because if youre a leader if youre a masculine person and youre victimized then youre weak the problem is that anybody can be a victim of Sexual Assault. And join the service in 1972 the military is a great way of life
