The military school at Citadel, south of Carolina, has been dogged by the charges of sexual harassment.



According to the latest survey, 20% of the female cadets and 4% of male cadets reported of being sexually assaulted since enrollment.



The majority of the reported incidents involving women occurred in the barracks or elsewhere on campus. More than half also said the perpetrator was another cadet, the survey reported, with some cadets saying they had been sexually assaulted more than once.



Tara Woodside, a junior who helps teach cadets in the school’s Values and Respect program, reported that she too has been subjected to various innuendos.



Anita Sanchez, director of communications for the Miles Foundation - a private nonprofit organization that provides services to victims of violence associated with the military said that reality might reflect higher number of cases.
