Improve procedures for the reporting of, and punishment for, sexual assault in the armed forces.

Created by M.B. on March 02, 2013

We petition the President to direct all branches of the United States Armed Forces to take the following action:

Have a legal expert, rather than a superior officer of the accused, review sexual assault cases for court-martial, and prevent superior officers of the accused from interfering in the reporting process.

Ensure that when rape is reported, a rape kit is used as soon as possible, no later than twelve hours after the alleged rape.

Bar defendants accused of sexual assault from choosing resignation in lieu of court-martial.

Do not charge victims of sexual assault with adultery.
