Congresswoman Jackie Walorski is backing a bill that would protect military members who become victims of sexual violence.
Walorski's proposal comes on the heels of a new Pentagon report that indicates sexual assaults within the military are on the rise.
The bill would bolster whistle-blower protection laws to make sure victims who report rapes aren't punished.
