The Pentagon on Friday released its latest numbers on reports of sexual assault at its three military academies and the news is not good.
This year's survey found the highest numbers since the Defense Department began tracking reports in 2006 and a prevalence survey indicated one out of very five female cadets and midshipmen experienced unwanted sexual contact over the previous year.

..."Protect Our Defenders, an advocacy group for sexual assault victims, released the following statement in response to Friday's numbers.
"This report confirms what many of us have feared -- that the scourge of sexual assault in our military is only getting worse," its statement said. "This report is particularly troubling because it exposes a dramatic increase in the prevalence of this abhorrent behavior at the institutions that are responsible for shaping the military's future leaders. It's clear that more of the same outdated training and attitudes are only making this problem worse. Leadership at the academies must be held accountable."

I saw that. It is everywhere. As a sexual assault nurse and a victim and survivor, I wait for a day that this number goes down.
