Australian forces receive 'very many' abuse claims

The Australian Defence Force has been stung by a string of allegations, some decades old, of abusive and sexist behaviour in its ranks, including new claims that a gang rape victim was coerced by police into saying she had consented.

The woman told ABC television Monday she was assaulted by three men when she was a trainee cook in the navy in 1996, and that naval police later told her her career was over unless she said the sex was consensual.
