Now, both you and Ms. Bullard, even though you have gone through this injustice, frankly, you want to return to the Academy and complete your education there.

Simply put, this is disgusting.

Alcohol is a component of sexual assault in 50 to 60 percent of the cases.

In order to break the cycle, we need strong reforms to make clear that this behavior is not tolerated.

Mr. Chairman, I am going to hold my questions till the end and allow my colleagues to my left to ask theirs.

Let me just tell you how extraordinary you all are and how grateful we are that you are here to testify.

And we wonder why victims don't want to report.
