The number of sexual assaults reported to the Navy has grown by approximately 50 percent in the last year. The Associated Press reports Navy officials said Wednesday that “is a sign that a growing number of sailors feel more comfortable reporting an assault and believe something will be done about it when they do. The Navy said it is on pace to end the 2013 fiscal year later this month with about 1,100 reports of sexual assault. That’s up from the 726 sexual assaults reported in the previous fiscal year.”
