"Army officer sexually assaulted and robbed after reporting he drank drug-laced champagne" is another way to write that headline.

I'm also DEEPLY uninterested in any argument that sounds like "(s)he shouldn't have put themselves in that situation."

I'm not disputing that it's wrong to visit a strip club as part of a work event.

I'm saying that this story is written (and spoken) for laughs. It's not funny at the command level, and it's certainly not funny at the victim level.

This entire story was written based on a command investigation. I'm sure that won't dissuade people from reporting sexual assault in the future (/s).

But I'm super glad we could get some cheap thrills and make a few bucks off of a soldier's life-altering assault and robbery.
