Reservists struggle with sexual assaults

AUGUSTA, Maine -- (NEWS CENTER) Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel has ordered retraining, recredentialing and rescreening of all sexual assault prevention coordinators for the military, as well as for military recruiters after two recent cases where men in charge of prevention programs were charged with sexual assault. But Hagel's orders will do little to help the nation's 1-million Reservists.

Newscenter talked with one former Army Reservist who asked that her identity be concealed since two of her alleged rapists live within and hour of her home. "Ann" told us how she was serving in Iraq from February 2004 to February 2005 and loved her job as a convoy truck driver and combat first aid specialist in large part because of the conraderie she felt with her fellow soldiers.
