More Rape Cake

WASHINGTON – A lawsuit targeting the Pentagon contains an astonishing
anecdote about a retired Sergeant's experience after being sexually
assaulted by a colleague during a deployment to Afghanistan.

The lawsuit, available here (PDF), was filed by 17 military women
against Secretaries of Defense Robert Gates and Donald Rumsfeld in
Virginia. It assails "the military's repeated failures to take action in
rape cases created a culture where violence against women was tolerated,
violating the plaintiffs' Constitutional rights."

Sergeant Rebekah Havrilla alleges in the complaint that in 2006, after
her military supervisor repeatedly sexually harassed her, she was raped
by a colleague she was working with at the time.

"He pulled her into his bed, held her down, and raped her. He also
photographed the rape," it reads. Havrilla reported the incident within
a month.

In February 2009, she reported for active duty training and, upon seeing
her rapist, went into shock.

"She immediately sought the assistance of the military chaplain," the
lawsuit reads. "When SGT Havrilla met with the military chaplain, he
told her that 'it must have been God's will for her to be raped' and
recommended that she attend church more frequently."

The complains adds that "SGT Havrilla suffers from post-traumatic stress
disorder and chronic depression."

Havrilla's harrowing story, and the broader lawsuit, sheds light on the
ongoing and widely reported problem of sexual assault in the military.

Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said it was "a command priority" to
"ensure all of our service members are safe from abuse" and pledged to
commit more resources to the goal.

"Sexual assault is a wider societal problem and Secretary Gates has been
working with the service chiefs to make sure the U.S. military is doing
all it can to prevent and respond to it," Morrell told NBC News.
