And the Militaries of the world rape, pillage and plunder as usual. How many rape and sexual assault cases in the ADF?
Something must be wrong in the ADF - so many suicides.
Sexual assault complaints made in the Australian Defence Force
soared to
187 cases in 2020-21, with the majority of concerns raised
over incidents of aggravated misconduct.
The sexual assault allegations reported also show a sharp increase
compared to previous figures of 160 in 2019-20, 166 in 2018-19,
and 170 in 2017-18.
In a statement a Defence spokesperson said it was unclear whether
the increase in the number of reported offences was due to increased
occurrences, greater awareness of reporting options, victims feeling
safer to report incidents or an increase in the availability of services.
