Stacey Thompson, Victim of Military Sexual Assault, Speaks Out
LGR reports:
Often times, the problem with sexual assault in the military is that because often nothing happens when the sexual assault is reported, victims are less than willing to come forward. What is more, often times, the victim gets punished instead of the perpetrator.
Lance Corporal Stacey Thompson lived that. She had just been stationed at a Marine Corps base in Japan when her sergeant laced her drinks with drugs, raped her in the barracks and dumped her onto the street outside a nightclub at 4am. Lance Corporal Thompson, though, has decided not to remain silent.
