Special Report: Twice Betrayed

A seven-month San Antonio Express-News investigation into the pervasive and long-standing problem of sex assaults in the military shows victims who report the incidents often are retaliated against and discharged on false claims that they have mental disorders. Offenders, meanwhile, are rarely punished, and most are allowed to stay in the armed forces.

Protect Our Defenders Advocacy Committee members Elle Helmer, Brian Lewis, Jenny McClendon, and Terri Odom were interviewed for the report.
