WASHINGTON – Rape in the U.S. military has taken up headlines again after a high ranking officer in the army was charged with forced sex, wrongful sexual conduct, violating an order and more.

Brig. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sinclair, who served five combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, faces possible courts martial on charges that include forced sex, wrongful sexual conduct, violating an order, possessing pornography and alcohol while deployed, and misusing a government travel charge card and filing fraudulent claims, officials said on Wednesday.

To discuss his case and the issue of rape in the U.S. military, host Rob Sachs spoke with Jennifer Norris, a national victim advocate for the Military Rape Crisis Center.
