Summary
I was ashamed and confused, and I thought I was strong but felt powerless.”"I am also a military sexually assault survivor," Sen. Martha McSally said during a Senate hearing about sexual assault in the military https://t.co/KOOewVn5lf pic.twitter.com/HVa2Gf5js9McSally, who revealed last year that she was sexually abused by a coach during her senior year of high school, said there were numerous incidents of sexual assault while in the Air Force.“The perpetrators abused their position of power in profound ways, and in one case I was preyed upon and then raped by a superior officer,” she said.She did not name her attacker, or when or where the assault happened.The former A-10 squadron commander said she stayed silent for many years, but later in her career, “as the military grappled with scandals and their wholly inadequate responses, I felt the need to let some people know I, too, was a survivor.
