Members of the task force were on hand at the site where Corporal Caesar Laurean was alleged to have raped and killed fellow Corporal Maria Lauterbach in December 2007. For the next ten months, the congressionally mandated task force will be visiting Army, Navy and Air Force installations and combat zones across the globe. When they&#8217;re done, they are expected to report their findings and assessments on rape and sexual assault in the military to Congress. The visit to Camp Lejeune follows Congressional Subcommittee hearings held last week on sexual assault in the military. Unlike a previous hearing on the subject this summer, D. Kaye Whitley, director of the Department of Defense\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office, testified and claimed that the military was taking steps towards improvements in the area. Also present at the hearings was Congresswoman Jane Harman. She introduced a bill this summer to remedy the inadequacies in investigating and prosecution of rape and sexual assault cases in the military. Harman has said that women serving in the U.S. military in Iraq are more likely to be raped by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire. <\/p>\n<p><em>GUEST: Congresswoman Jane Harman, representing California 36th district<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| the entire program The Defense Task Force on Sexual Assault in the Military wrapped up its two day visit yesterday to Camp Lejeune.
