A bipartisan bill to support the 19,000 annual military victims of sexual assault in the United States Armed Forces is being introduced Wednesday in the House by Rep. Niki Tsongas (D-MA) and Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH). The Defense Sexual Trauma Response, Oversight and Good Governance Act (The Defense STRONG Act) would expand legal rights and protections for service members who have been victims of sexual assault.
