Reports of sexual assaults involving service members increased six percent in 2012, compared with 2011, according to a Pentagon report released May 7. Of the 3,374 reports in 2012, 816 are considered restricted – that is, subject to confidentiality. The number of such confidential reports increased to 17 percent from 14 percent between 2011 and 2012, according to the report. The reported crimes involve victims who filed formal sexual assault complaints, and service members who have been accused of committing sexual assaults. The statistics show that more active-duty women reported sexual assaults in 2012 than in years past, yet remained unchanged for active-duty men and both sexes in the reserve components. President Obama reacted by promising to provide aid to service members and other victims of sexual assault, and prosecute perpetrators vigorously. "I don’t want just more speeches, or … awareness programs or training – but ultimately folks look the other way," Obama said. "[When] we find out somebody’s engaging in this stuff, they’ve got to be held accountable; prosecuted, stripped out of their positions, court-martialed, fired, dishonorably discharged. Period. It is not acceptable."
