Sadly, this is at every military base in every branch. The military is just reactive to it and never has been proactive.

We don't need more training. We all know the definitions. We are all aware of the problem. Let's work to prevention. Guess what? Sexual predators don't care. By the time they get caught, they've had multiple victims.

Also the military has an extremely low conviction rate for sex crimes. So predators see this and know they're not gonna be held accountable.

You are absolutely correct about the # of victims, and even then some sexual predators are never apprehended. We can look no further than the Catholic Church for numerous pedophiles who are protected in the Church.

Leader's need to be engaged and those that fail, need to be held accountable. It is the least that can be done for those that serve our nation. This is unacceptable behavior anywhere, let alone in our ranks

I have a published article on Research Gate which outlines many of these issues. The military is straggling behind mainstream society in addressing and resolving these concerns.
