Sen. Martha McSally
Reveals She Was Raped
While in the Air Force The disclosure was made
during a Senate Armed Services
subcommittee hearing concerning
sexual assault in the military. Sen McSally, R-AZ,
revealed she was "preyed upon
and raped by a superior officer." She said she did
not report the assault because she
didn't trust
the system. She almost left
the Air Force from
despair after 18 years. Sen. Martha McSally, R-AZ, via CNN The freshman Senator
was the first American
woman to fly in combat. McSally advocates for stronger
accountability for commanding
officers to prevent and prosecute
military sexual assault. Sen. Martha McSally, R-AZ, via CNN
