Kelso High grad takes on Air Force after daughter reports rapes
The Daily News reports:
Amid a jumble of letters, photos and military documents, Tina Clemans keeps a Ziploc bag containing her daughter’s blood-soaked hospital gown. It is a reminder of the savagery of one of two sexual assaults her daughter says she endured on a Texas military base last year.
Between April and July, Clemans said, her 21-year-old daughter, Myah Bilton-Smith, was raped twice at Goodfellow Air Force Base in San Angelo, where she had been stationed for two months. But, Clemans said, instead of helping her daughter and finding the perpetrators, the Air Force tried to cover up the rapes by wrongly diagnosing Bilton-Smith with a mental illness and pushing her out of the service.
