New website of interest

Check out the new website Protect Our Military Children. From the home page:

On military installations across the United States and overseas, juvenile-on-juvenile sexual assault goes unprosecuted. Shouldn't military child sexual assault victims, and their families, be protected?

Elsewhere the website reports:

Congress passed legislation in 1970 permitting the relinquishment of federal jurisdiction over military installations to the surrounding states through a process known as retrocession of jurisdiction. However, it left the decision to seek retrocession to the discretion of the Secretary of Defense, who in turn delegated it to the uniformed services (Army, Navy, Air Force).

Unfortunately, the uniformed services have utilized retrocession of exclusive federal jurisdiction over juvenile crimes on military installations only a handful of times (Fort Knox in 1999, Joint Base Lewis-McChord in 2001, Fort Stewart in 2015) despite clear indicators that the non-prosecution of juvenile-on-juvenile sexual assaults is a loathsome trend across the force.

The site is the personal work of U.S. Army JAG Corps Major George R. ("Rob") Lavine III, and includes the usual disclaimer. Maj. Lavine's 2018 Wyoming Law Review article on the subject can be found here.
