The number of sexual assaults that were reported at the U.S. military academies during the 2020-21 school year was higher than it has been in nearly 20 years.
There were 131 such cases during that school year, according to a new Pentagon report, which is up from 88 in 2019-20, though those numbers were likely smaller at least in part due to the coronavirus pandemic requiring some closures.
"We would like to see every sexual assault reported so that everybody can seek care," he said."We know we're a long way off from that, but that's why our goal is to reduce how often sexual assault occurs so that there aren't any more victims, but then, of course, we would always want to see greater reporting until that time as well, so that we can care for more folks.
The increased reporting of sexual assault does not necessarily mean more incidents are occurring — just that more victims have filed reports. In 2018, 15.8% of women in the academy and 2.4% of men in the academy said they experienced unwanted sexual contact in the previous year, both of which represented the highest percentages in the past ten years.Using the data from both the number of reported cases and the percentage of those who reported such experiences, Galbreath said there were roughly 747 sexual assaults during 2018.
