Air Force Sex Scandal Gets Hotter

Alleged Victims: Academy Still Stonewalling Us; Court Case Stalls

(CBS)  Fullilove confirmed to Storm that she was told by others she'd be lucky to make it through her four years at the academy without being assaulted: "It's a shame that that's what it's come to there, but you're told that on quite a few occasions, especially when you first get there during basic training and you are told that you don't want to say anything, or they'll find a way to kick you out."

The account of former cadet Beth Davis is much the same.

She's told superiors she was assaulted on multiple occasions by the same attacker. He was given an honorable discharge from the Air Force.

Davis says many female cadets in her position feel as she does: betrayed.

In her case, "He's free to do whatever he wants. He was pretty much a pre-med major at the academy. It scares me to death that he may be providing some sort of health care to people out there with nothing on his record."

As for the dozens of accusers whose accusations haven't resulted in one conviction, Davis says, "It's indicative of a horrible culture (at the academy) as far as women are concerned. They really don't want us there. The surveys prove that. It's a shame. But it definitely is not sending the right messages."

Attorney Wendy Murphy, a CBS News consultant, represents Bier, the rape counselor in hot water over refusing to turn over Brakey's records.

She bristles that the academy's record speaks for itself: "Sixty cases and not a single conviction. On one side of their mouth, the Air Force is saying, 'We care deeply. We want to encourage reporting.' Women are dying in service to their country. Three women died last week alone. The least they can do is protect women from rape while they're learning to become good soldiers and good officers.

"What I hear and what I see is that they do not want women reporting rape. They want to protect rapists. The message that I see is they think rapists make good soldiers."

Murphy asserts Brakey is "being treated like the culprit, unfortunately. She did all the right things that they expected of her. She reported the case, she participated in all the counseling they told her to go to. They had the audacity to say they were going to give her justice. And when push came to shove, they used her most intimate thoughts, her healing records, against her, forcing her to choose literally between justice and healing. That is unconscionable. It's not a civilized way to run a legal system."

Brakey says the Air Force must "hold these people accountable or, it's telling them in so many words that it's OK to do this, and giving them vindication and validation."

Murphy added, "I've heard the Air Force describes (the subpoena on Bier) as just a way of coercing compliance with the subpoena. I see it as a form of extortion, literally forcing the therapist, and even forcing Jessica, the victim, to choose between justice and healing."
