Arizona senator says she was raped while in Air Force.
Arizona Senator Martha McSally, the first woman to fly in combat for the US Air Force, said Wednesday that she had been raped by a superior officer while in the service.
"Like so many women and men I didn't trust the system at the time," she said."I blame myself. I was ashamed and confused. And I thought I was strong but felt powerless. "But later in my career, as the military grappled with scandals and their wholly inadequate responses, I felt the need to let some people know -- I too was a survivor," she said."I almost separated from the Air Force at 18 years over my despair," she said."Like many victims I felt the system was raping me all over again.
"I share the disgust at the failures of the military system and the many commanders who failed in their responsibilities," the senator said. McSally lost a close race in November to Democrat Kyrsten Sinema but was later appointed by the Arizona governor to fill the seat once held by John McCain, who died in August.
