For the fourth straight year, the Air Force Academy had the highest rate of sexual assault reports of any American service academy.
And academy bosses reacted to the report in the way they have in the past, saying the 45 reports - nearly two thirds of all reported assaults among cadets and midshipmen in the past academic year - show confidence in the system.
"The more reports we get, the more we'll be able to hold offenders accountable," said Col. Renni Renner, the school's vice commandant of culture and climate.
With 45 reported incidents in the 2012-13 academic year, there was more than 1 report for every 100 Air Force cadets. Combined, Air Force, the U.S. Military Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy had 70 reported assaults, 41 of which were "restricted" reports, which allow the victim to get help with out pursuing a criminal investigation.
