Since before Caesar created the Roman Legions, rape and sexual assault have been part of war and the military. A 2003 study in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine found the rate of rape in the military was 30%, or twice as much as in civilian life.
One in ten men report being raped during their time in the military. Additionally, hundreds of military recruiters have been accused of sexual assault in the last decade.
Current statistics on this issue are available at the Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office.
