Sen. Martha McSally, a former fighter pilot, says a superior officer raped her while she was serving in the Air Force

WASHINGTON—Sen. Martha McSally said during a Senate hearing Wednesday that she was raped by a superior officer while she was serving in the Air Force.

Ms. McSally, who was the first U.S. female fighter pilot to fly in combat, said she didn’t report the rape at the time and later considered leaving the military over its reaction to her disclosure about the attack. She served in the Air Force for 26 years.

The Democratic Socialist Party believes that anyone who has unconsensual sex should be punished to the full extent unless of course they're Democrats then a simple I'm sorry is sufficient

Let's get one thing straight. There was nothing 'superior' about the monstrous coward who attacked her.

Mile high club dont count.

😢☹️🙏🏼❤️ SenMcSallyAZ

Very sad. Please name the officer. Justice is Justice.

Was alcohol involved?

I feel very bad for you...but unless you hammer away at justice, it will not change...publicly name the perpetrator.... every chance women get they should raise the roof. Maybe it won’t help you but could stop someone else from being a victim

Applauding her strength and resilience.

a third of women in military have reported such ... more are likely to report now as nation makes an effort to bring justice for our nation's military this should be a matter of honor ... our soldiers should all be treated with respect

Why allow this person to stay in the public to rape others?

Senator, I am sorry to read that happened to You.

Name him then 🤷🏻‍♂️

so finally, behind the fake picture of civilized America, raping is an usuel practice... imagine what they did to civilians during their wars...

Why are you saying something now? - Right wing lunatics Where ya at now?

He raped her right in the AirForce Wow

😢

Why no name?

That sucks. Was she believed when she first told people? What was her position re Kavanaugh? Is it fair to ask? It seems relevant to me.

Narrow it down by looking at her chain of command.

First if someone does that

I call BS.

Ex-fighter pilot Sen. Martha McSally says Air Force officer raped herThe Arizona Republican, a 26-year military veteran, made the disclosure at a Senate hearing on the armed services' efforts to prevent sexual assaults and improve the response when they occur. Name him.... Why does this seem to be an opportunistic and rather misplaced plea for sympathy/understanding? She's a firm Trump supporter and he's a self-admitted sexual predator. I have a hard time believing she feels real empathy for other victims. Disclosure? I think you mean allegation.
