Two things that I think would help would be-
#1 - Not allow arbitration agreements to be effective in sexual assault claims because as it stands now most of the large contractors force employees as a condition of employment to agree to arbitrate claims. Let's let employees who claim they were sexually assaulted sue the companies for big bucks. Money is the only thing the companies care about anyways.
#2 - Set up some system to allow American courts and law enforcement to oversee the investigation and prosecution of sexual assault overseas.

  Not altogether bad ideas walden..
  I see some issues with #2
  sexual assault and crimes of a like nature are generaly considered crimes against the state. I would think there would have to be some sort of federal juristicion formed to handle the cases.

    As part of the federal contract you just get the contractors to waive any objection to jurisdiction and to submit to US government investigatory and prosecution even if the event occurs overseas.

        Thats right under this administration all cases of rape have been halted in their tracks.
        Think about the hate you spew.

        You know Endoscopy I gave you a positive because I agreed with your first comment.
        As to the rest of the comment I whole heartedly disagree with you.

  ...I understand that the Bush DOJ refused to even investigate the Jones case... like all the stonewalling of reported contractor fraud and abuse out of Iraq and Afghanistan. Contempt of Congress charges not pursued either... but great torture memos to get around the law from the Bush DOJ! And, great firings of prosecutors who applied the law equally (in spite of Gonzo saying they were released for cause)!

    LOL
    Clinton did the same things but only Bush can't do those things. Get a life. Live in reality.
