Add these to the list:
To avoid “he said, she said” situations in which a rapist claims that the victim consented to have sex, follow the example of European countries where sex without affirmative consent is considered to be rape. The United Kingdom, Ireland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Cyprus, and Sweden all require affirmative consent. In addition to avoiding ambiguous situations, this would have a second benefit, namely making it clear that people who are too drunk to give consent are not to be used as sex objects.
Speaking of drunkenness, being drunk while committing an offense is not a valid defense in civilian courts. It ought not be accepted in military proceedings either.
Numerous labor laws require employers to provide a safe workplace. This includes safety from harassment as well as assault and battery of every kind, including sexual. The military is an employer and should not be exempt from this.
The existing system has failed to deliver meaningful accountability. The new system should ensure that rapists will face serious punishment, and that they know it.
So called “command rape” is a situation in which a commander orders an underling to have sex with them, with or without an overt threat. This may be difficult to address, but that does not imply that it is to be ignored.
Tell new personnel on day one what the rules are, what is expected of them, and what will happen if they violate.
Use the phrase “sexual assault and battery,” as this underlines the criminal nature of the act better than any other wording.
