They are ostracized frequently by their squad mates. And, usually, word spreads pretty fast, and word gets out about who is the victim,\u201d Beasley said. \u201cThey\u2019ll have their nameplates taken off their room and thrown on the ground. People won\u2019t sit with them at lunch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beasley alleged the poor treatment of those who report sexual assault isn\u2019t only perpetrated by other cadets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSome commanders, unfortunately, will begin retaliating on the cadet as well,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beasley declined to speak to Air Force Times, saying \u201cthere is a second part to the CBS broadcast tomorrow [Tuesday] morning, I would ask please to defer commenting until Wednesday of this week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, in a statement to Air Force Times, academy spokesman Meade Warthen iterated the institution\u2019s concern over allegations of sexual assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Air Force Academy is deeply concerned by the allegations regarding the treatment of sexual assault victims at the Academy,\u201d Warthen said. \u201cDozens of professionals like Special Victims Counselors, Mental Health Professionals, Victim Advocates and more dedicate themselves day in and day out to the service of caring for the victims of this horrible crime.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBut the Academy is also focused on the root cause and believes creating and sustaining a climate of dignity and respect is absolutely essential to ending the scourge of sexual assault. One assault is too many, and we will never rest until the number is zero,\u201d Warthen added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two students who said they left the academy after they were sexually assaulted by fellow cadets also spoke to CBS. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was sexually assaulted my freshmen year,\u201d said Emily Hazen, who was supposed to graduate in 2015. \u201cMy perpetrator would follow me on runs. He would tell me he urinated on my car. He would write crude things on my car, like, in the fog. He would send me horrible text messages.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hazen\u2019s harasser was only reprimanded after he sent her a \u201cvery crude text message,\u201d and was simply told it \u201cwas unbecoming of an officer,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He eventually graduated, while she left the academy altogether, Hazen added, according to the CBS report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Melissa Hildremyr also left the academy following a sexual assault incident where she and fellow cadets were drinking underage. However, she said agents from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations didn\u2019t take her case seriously, according to the CBS report.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey would say things like, \u2018These guys have every reason to tell the truth, and you have every reason to lie,\u2019\u201c Hildremyr told CBS. \u201cThey made me feel like it was my fault this had happened to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The second part of the CBS This Morning special airs Tuesday. Beasley will appear again, as will Air Force Academy Superintendent Lt. Gen. Jay Silveria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following her dismissal for being \u201cderelict in the performance of [her] duties,\u201d the Air Force Academy\u2019s former sexual
