- I only knew one woman that had specifically told me that she had been raped by people in my unit, and that I never reported that, and she never reported that. 

Interviewer: Why do you think? 

- About not reporting it? She knew she wouldn't be taken seriously, and I agreed with her. They all operated under the, we were the least of their concerns and our problems were not, I mean it's all a matter of chain of command because we were there as JTF-GTMO, so we would have to report to JTF-GTMO. So if you're going to report something like that to that camp, it's all very small, and these women work in these units, everybody would know immediately, you know, I mean it would be, if you dropped that, the thing, if it got outside of the chain of command, it's going to be a huge issue. So that it never became a huge issue, means that those women that did bring those charges up were not taken seriously. And from further communication with that woman that I know that was there, that was raped, I know that she knows of other women that were raped while they were there. And I am not surprised by the general behavior and the general mentality of the people that I saw there, that that is the case. I oftentimes felt very sexually threatened in that I might be raped. I was very, because I am, I don't fit the normal manly build of the soldier, I was oftentimes kind of treated like a woman, or more realistically, just a gay soldier. My name was basically faggot while I was in the military and I had a lot of rape threats. I had a lot of really creepy things said on top of just, I mean, pounds and pounds and pounds of daily verbal abuse that I learned to just accept. And there were several situations. One time I was duct taped to my bed by people in my unit. And I thought that I was going to be raped. I thought that I was being raped the whole time. And I was left in my bed, duct-taped, naked to my bed. And I was late for work the next day until my roommate came home and unduct-taped me and, 

Interviewer: Why did that happen? 

- They got drunk. They didn't even remember that they did it the next day or they never admitted to it. I took it immediately to my command. Cause I was punished upon getting to work about why I had showed up late. And then, so I immediately said, well my guys in my unit did this and that. And my superiors and the DOC said, well then we're going to have to talk to your command. And then it just all disappeared. And apparently they'd done it to like three other people in our unit.
