Reported sexual assaults across US military increase by 13%
By Lolita C. Baldor, The Associated Press

Reports of sexual assaults across the U.S. military jumped by 13% last year, driven by significant increases in the Army and the Navy as bases began to move out of pandemic restrictions and public venues reopened, The Associated Press has learned.

Mirroring the increase in those reports is the disclosure that close to 36,000 service members said in a confidential survey that they had experienced unwanted sexual contact — a dramatic increase over the roughly 20,000 who said that in a similar 2018 survey, U.S. defense and military officials said.

The latest numbers are certain to anger lawmakers on Capitol Hill who have been critical of the Pentagon’s efforts to get a handle on sexual crimes and misconduct.

Is there a gender identity/pronoun breakdown of these assaults?

Skeptic alert...

"Reports" are one thing, confirmed cases another.

Given the "woke" nature of many in the services nowadays, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if some are just "reporting" to torpedo another persons career.

There is an immense amount of power in simply making allegations, whether true or not.
