hundreds of documented rapes of Latinas in the US

military and thousands more that were never reported

http://www.geocities.com/mnsocialist/rape.html According to
the Department of Defenses own statistics 74-85% of soldiers
convicted of rape or sexual assault leave the military with
honorable discharges (meaning the rape conviction does not
appear on their record!). Only 2-3% of soldiers accused of
rape are ever court marshaled. And only 5-6% of soldiers
accused of domestic abused are ever court marshaled."
