Due to cases of sexual abuse in the military the Pentagon has been changing and updating new policies designed to reduce sexual assaults.
Earlier this year, the military adopted a new rule that makes it more likely that sexual abuse cases would result in criminal convictions by a military court.
An amendment to Article 120 of the Uniform Code of Criminal Justice, the military’s law book, clarified the definition of sexual assault to include sex with anyone “incapable of consenting” due to “impairment by any drug, intoxicant or other similar substance.”
The Pentagon has also announced a new policy to shield individuals who file complaints of sexual misconduct from intimidation by commanding officers or predatory colleagues.
