Sen. Martha McSally said she was sexually assaulted by a superior officer when she was in the Air Force, but chose not to report it because she did not trust the system. The Arizona Republican did not name the officer who she says raped her
Sen. Martha McSally, a 26-year military veteran, said Wednesday that she was raped in the Air Force by a superior officer.
“I stayed silent for many years, but later in my career, as the military grappled with the scandals, and their wholly inadequate responses, I felt the need to let some people know I too was a survivor,” she said at the hearing. “I was horrified at how my attempt to share generally my experiences was handled. I almost separated from the Air Force at 18 years of service over my despair. Like many victims, I felt like the system was raping me all over again.
Discussions of sexual assault and harassment in the armed services have become part of larger debates on Capitol Hill in the past year. McSally has previously spoken about being sexually harassed as the first woman fighter pilot in the Air Force and“I share the disgust of the failures of the military system and many commanders who failed in their responsibilities,” McSally said Wednesday.
