Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Women Military Personnel Criminal Justice

Senator GRAHAM. As I understand it, what she is saying is if someone comes forward and makes an allegation, but they do not want to go to trial--

Senator MCCASKILL. Right.

Senator GRAHAM.--that this is captured. We actually do this in child abuse cases. There is a system that tracks child abuse complaints for adoption, for other things, because this is tough. I understand what you are saying. I do not want it to be used to deny someone a promotion. I do not want the promotion board to get access to it. I do not want it to be used in a different trial. But if somehow we can find for law enforcement purposes only a way to keep track of the allegations, that strikes me as not a bad thing to do, given the fact that I believe sexual predators are organized and they just do not do it one time
