Where should sexual assault be tried?

The Defence Committee of the House of Commons has received evidence urging that sexual assault cases be tried in civilian courts rather than in the court martial. Details here. Excerpt:

The evidence was given by uniformed and civilian clinicians and administrative support staff offering care to service personnel and their commands.

They have been anonymised as have the personnel their claims relate to, the committee said.

The case studies paint a damning picture of progress made to address failures in protecting servicewomen which were first laid bare by the 2021 report.
