A recent Rand Corp study commissioned by the Department of Defense found that of all four branches, those at Navy installations are at greatest risk for sexual assault
The U.S. Navy has launched an investigation into the discovery of a hidden camera in the women’s bathroom aboard the USS Arlington last month, three military officials told NBC News.
“The command has taken, and will continue to take, all necessary actions to ensure the safety and privacy of the victim,” Cdr. Kyle Raines told NBC News in a statement. “The Navy/Marine Corps team takes all reports of sexual harassment seriously, and are committed to thoroughly investigating these allegations and providing resources and care to victims of sexual harassment.”
The USS Arlington is a transport dock ship based in Norfolk, Virginia. It deployed in December with the Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group and is currently docked in Greece, reported the Stars and Stripes. It is on a seven-month deployment to Europe and the Middle East. Sexual harassment, assault and misconduct is a pervasive issue in the military, and a recent Rand Corp study commissioned by the Department of Defense found that of all four branches, those at Navy installations are at greatest risk for sexual assault. Women have a more than 15 percent risk of sexual assault, according to the report, and men a 1.5 percent risk.
