I Was Saed In The Military Several Years Ago And They’re Planning On Letting The Guy Walk. What Can I Do To Get Justice?
I attended a U.S. military academy several years ago. During my time there, another cadet (“James,” fake name) sexually assaulted me and engaged in other abusive sexual conduct over a period of months.
I initially filed a restricted report, meaning no formal investigation was started at the time. The situations caused me to get super depressed and have a suicide attempt. I later received treatment for PTSD and depression related to the incidents. Eventually I was medically retired from military service.
A couple years later, I decided to move forward with an unrestricted report. The academy first handled one allegation internally through a school disciplinary process, where he was found guilty, but the superintendent reinstated him anyway.
Later, multiple additional victims came forward with similar allegations, and the military pursued a court-martial with numerous charges against him. I was expected to testify, but the trial was delayed after defense motions.
Recently, I was informed that he submitted a resignation in lieu of court-martial, and prosecutors supported it despite my objections. From what I understand, this could allow him to leave the service without a criminal conviction. (He apparently has an injury that would prevent him from a military career anyways.)
My question is, is there anything I can do to have this guy held accountable? He’s basically going to be walking free with no punishment and destroying several women’s lives.
