Andy and Katie open one of their client files to expose an injustice that has occurred. Their client, a spouse of a military member, was sexually assaulted by her official Air Force assigned sponsor when she first moved overseas to be with her husband. She helped the Air Force convict him and send him to jail, but now they refuse to provide her and financial or medical benefits. The military is quietly stonewalling victims of sexual assault even when the sexual assault happened under its watch. https://www.airforcetimes.com/news/your-air-force/2019/08/01/an-airmans-wife-was-sexually-assaulted-by-their-air-force-sponsor-now-shes-fighting-to-change-the-system/
