Military’s newly aggressive rape prosecution has pitfalls
In general it seems like there are more cases on rape and sexual assault being brought to trial than originally thought, but the actual charges being brought down are not as severe. Only 27 percent of those brought up on charges were actually convicted which is a problem. This was a very interesting read which gave some incite into how the military might be dealing with cases like this. There are definitely still problems, but it seems that the rate of the cases being brought up and convicted has improved. It is not being pushed under the rug quite as much as before.
