Comment on Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand accuses Pentagon of withholding military assault figures in scathing report

Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand accuses Pentagon of withholding military assault figures in scathing report

On Friday, the Pentagon released its annual report on sexual assaults in the military. Now, Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) has released her own report criticizing the Pentagon's data. "I don't think the military is being honest about the problem," Gillibrand told The Associated Press. Gillibrand's critique alleges that the Pentagon didn't provide her with accurate assault figures from several military bases, and she says the actual number of sex crimes is more than what the Defense Department reported. Gillibrand analyzed 107 military assault cases and found that in most cases, the punishments were "too lenient," AP reports.
