Robert B. Neller, said in the release. \u201cAll Marines must be involved in preventing and addressing sexual assault and harassment. There is no room in the Marine Corps for either of these behaviors.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While sexual assault is a highly underreported crime, the Corps said it believes the increase in reporting indicates that Marines \u201cfeel more empowered\u201d and have \u201cmore faith\u201d in leadership to come forward, according to the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The DoD report noted that in 2006 about 1 out of 14 service members reported to a defense authority figure following a sexual assault incident, that number climbed to 1
