Current and former military officials testified before the House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee on the role of commanders in sexual assault prosecutions within the armed services. Three sexual assault survivors testified on the first panel, recounting their experiences and what they described as poor treatment by their chains of command and fellow service members, many of whom they said harassed them or did not believe they had been raped. The second panel featured representatives from the military branches' judge advocate offices. They answered questions from committee members about what each service branch was doing to address the issue, help and counsel victims, and ensure accountability, discipline and justice for those who committed crimes. close
