There is speculation that the increase in numbers is due to more military workers coming forward, rather than an actual increase in the number of assaults.
“They’ve made it clear that they are making a very concerted effort to make sure that they are providing a safe environment for victims to come forward,” said Stone, an accredited veteran disability representative. According to Stone, the number of cases the firm has seen regarding military assault spiked in the past year.
Stone says that while the cases that Gordon & Doner has seen this past year are varied, many involve superior officers that have assaulted junior troops, in both male-on-male and male-on-female situations.
Sexual assault is a serious crime, and victims may suffer physical and emotional trauma as a result of such an incident. Stone and the attorneys of Gordon & Doner offer assistance in pursuing financial compensation and disability for the injuries and illnesses suffered on duty.
