Letting the Big Fish Go To Catch The Little One

A servicewoman with the Air Force filed a rape complaint against three men, but then refused to testify after being subjected to “harsh interrogation” by defense attorneys without her own representation present (a violation of military policy). So the Air Force decided to charge her with “committing indecent acts” instead. They even had the foresight to grant the three men immunity from sexual assault prosecution so they would testify against her.

And people wonder why women are sometimes reluctant to file rape complaints in the first place.

And people also wonder why the Air Force has a long-standing reputation for tolerating sexual assault.
