PBS NewsHour
2018/04/02
A year ago, hundreds of current and former Marines were exposed as having posted explicit photos of
women, including female Marines, along with degrading or abusive comments, on a private Facebook
group. Senior leaders in the Corps vowed to punish those involved and to root out a culture of misogyny
revealed by the scandal. William Brangham reports on what’s happened since then.

2019/03/24 Why McSally is right and wrong about military sexual assaults. By Paula Coughlin
https //www airforcetimes com/opinion/commentary/2019/03/24/why-mcsally-is-right-and-wrong-about-
military-sexual-assaults/
Excerpt: Rape in the armed forces has been in the limelight before, dating back to my own public
complaint of sexual assault at the infamous 1991 Tailhook Convention, which painfully ended my naval
career. In the Pentagon’s most recent annual report, nearly 15,000 service members report having been
sexually assaulted. Horrifically, most victims were assaulted more than once, bringing total assaults to over
41,000 per year, or 112 per day. Put into perspective, we are losing a battalion a week to this crisis. These
statistics sabotage enlistment and re-enlistment of qualified members. Mission-ready manpower is
diminished when the threat of assault in the military is far greater than the civilian world, with little or no
recourse. You can’t sue your commanding officer for rape. In fact, you might be tried for adultery.

Charging documents and Rather’s facebook page revealed that he is an active member of the United
States Marine Reservist. The friend also informed detectives that Pierce-Morris had been trying to avoid
Rather and had recently began dating another man. The friend and Pierce-Morris’ mother had become
concerned that Rather was “obsessed with Jasmine,” the charging documents read. The friend, who lives
several states away, was distraught when she learned of Pierce-Morris’ death and told investigators that
Pierce-Morris had stopped sharing her location data with the friend at roughly 12:30 a.m. on Tuesday. The
friend informed police that the young man “Chris,” with whom Pierce-Morris was supposed to have met
prior to her death, lived on E. Northern Parkway.
2018/12/13 Marine denied bail in murder as Baltimore Police search landfill for more evidence
22-year-old Marine, Christopher Rather was denied bail Monday on charges of beating 20-year-old Jasmine
Morris and stabbing her in the neck, then leaving her to die in the kneeling position on a set of Northeast
Baltimore bleachers with her hands bound. As Rather, a current lance corporal reservist in the United
States Marine Corps was sent back to jail this morning, Baltimore Police were in a county landfill [for] more
evidence in the murder case against him.
