One woman’s story of sexual assault in the military
Arkansas Online reports:
Just barely out of high school, Melissa Davis joined the Army when she turned 18 in 1986.
Only in her second phase of military training, just three months past her 18th birthday, she said she was raped by a male sergeant.
Now 45, Davis, who lives in Fairfield Bay, is finally talking about the assault and how she has suffered silently for many years.
“I will be silenced no more,” she said.
Writing under the pen name Stormie Dunn, Davis tells her story as a victim of military sexual trauma in the book Silenced No More: The Courage of a Soldier — Life After Military Sexual Trauma.
