Reports of Sexual Assault in Military Increase Again

Description

According to the Pentagon's newest annual report, the number of reported sexual assaults by members of the U.S. military rose again in 2014. But the Pentagon office that handles sexual assault complaints said the crime is often underreported, and its estimate of how many sexual assaults occurred over that time decreased from last year. In fiscal year 2014, the military received a total of 6,131 reports of sexual assault involving service members as either victims or subjects, an 11% increase from fiscal year 2013 reporting, and a 70% increase from fiscal year 2012. Female victims made the majority of reports — 79% of the reports were from women compared to 20% made by men.
