The Laughlin Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program reinforces the Air Force’s commitment to eliminate incidents of sexual assault through awareness and prevention training, education, victim advocacy, response, and reporting.
Sexual assault is defined by the DoD, as intentional sexual contact, characterized by use of force, physical threat or abuse of authority or when the victim does not or cannot consent.
- Sexual assault includes rape, forcible sodomy and unwanted sexual contact or attempts to commit these acts.
- Sexual assault can occur without regard to gender, spousal relationship, or age of a person.
- Sexual assault is punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice
Sexual assault is criminal conduct that falls short of the standards America expects of its men and women in uniform, and is in direct violation of the Air Force’s Core Values.
Integrity First, Service Before Self, and Excellence in All We Do.
