Sexual Assault

The U.S. CDC is reporting a marked increase in teen sexual violence since it began monitoring the measure a decade ago.

Advocates for military sexual assault survivors are hopeful the new recommendations will eventually change the culture within the Maine National Guard.

The National Guard Bureau completed a three-day review of Maine's programs during a visit in June. But it did not explore the state's culture, which sexual assault victims have said is deeply embedded in misogyny, harassment and retaliation.

The new law tasks Maine's attorney general with reviewing the National Guard's handling of sexual harassment and assault investigations.

Lawmakers are considering a bill they hope will bring more accountability to the organization, as many survivors believe the Maine National Guard is too small to police itself.
