Copyrighted Image? DMCA | After her Air Force training instructor raped Virginia Messick, a young recruit, he told her it was fun and they should do it again, she remembers. Then he threw her clothes at her and ordered her to take a shower. Afraid of the consequences, she did not tell anyone what he had done. "How am I supposed to go about reporting something," asked Ms. Messick, "when the person I'm supposed to report to is the person who raped me?" "They are not doing anything for the people who have been through it," she said of the Air Force's treatment of the assault victims. "They haven't come to me or any of the other girls to ask them what to change. They basically have left me to fend for myself." |
