information the military did not want you or even congress to have. the i-team kept working the story to show what really happens to those accused of raping their fellow service members. one member of congress what the i-team uncovered shows that the national guard is not doing enough to protect those who are serve ing serving. >> reporter: kim says it started like any other night when she and 20 other guard unit members went to the bar. >> it wasn't unusual for all of us to be drinking. >> reporter: he became so intoxicated her supervisor drove her to his home. >> i remember kind of laughing and. saying get off of me. like what are you doing? i was thinking is he crazy. then i blacked out.

that fun person. >> if we want people to come forward early when the evidence is available and prosecution will be possible, we need to make sure that they know that their careers will be safe. >> reporter:. he began is the lead author of a human rights study that found based on interviews with military survivors they are 12 times more likely to face retaliation than see their attacker convicted of sexual assault. but no one has been able to get any numbers from the military on retaliation or punishment. >> what happens to the perpetrator and what happens to the victim, that's critical. sglrt national guard bureau says we are aggressively working to understand the scope of the problem to determine a way forward. but when we asked the guard bureau for statistics on how it investigates sex assaults, including retaliation and punishment outcomes, the guard bureau admitted it did not have that data on a nationwide level. we were told reaching out to

each state national guard would likely be the best way to go. but in an internal e-mail obtained by the i-team the guard bureau also told all of its units to old off and not give us this information. and in another internal e e-mail we obtained, the national. guard sent out a message asking all units to start collecting this data because interest in the national guard has uncreased exponentially. that's when we sent out a survey to every guard unit in the nation asking them ten questions about how do you investigate sexual assault and what kind of punishments have you handed out. we got responses from 40 out of 54 units giving us our first numbers about what actually happens to those accused of sexual assault in the national guard. >> we have a bis of information. >> reporter: even congress hasn't been able to get the information we gathered.

she was stunned by what we uncovered. only six states held a court-martial for sexual assault within the last five years resulting in just three incarcerations and one dishonorable discharge. most states used less serious types of discharge or administrative punishments. some allowed attackers to resign or retire. >> these are felonies. if you're convicted of a rape go to jail for a long time. >> reporter: we were told it's a te net of military command that commanders have unimpeded discretion to discipline those under their command and each case stands on its own merits. unlike the rest of the armed forces, the national guard says it's not required by congress to collect data on case outcomes. it told us it's making progress convincing them to provide this

data but welcomed a congressional mandate to force them to do it because we feel it is important. >> i think it's great that you took the time to do the survey because it really shines light on a huge issue that we don't have the accountability we need on these serious criminal cases in the national guard. >> we have only just skimmed the surface of what we found in our survey. you can read in detail about what each state said compare laws punishments and investigations side by side and see what they want the pentagon and congress to do to help them stop sexual assault in the military. >> you can watch the entire series by going to the nbcwashington.com and clicking on investigations. you can also send the i-team a tip which is how this

investigation started. veronica is back with more about the weather. it only tomorrow could be as lovely as today. >> it's going to get a little hot, but we're not in a hot pattern. nothing extreme. we are still in this wet pattern. we have gotten a couple days worth of thunderstorms and rain and it's been one wet month of june. let's look at the radar. i'll show you dry throughout most of the area. all you have to do is slide that map off to the side and see there are some pretty good rains headed eastward with the severe thunderstorm watch. that area right here just west of charleston in west virginia around huntington. not only flood warnings but tornado warning. it's part of the same system driving eastward. what we're going to get out of this system tomorrow is some clouds. we're warm in the mid-70s. by the time we get to the late morning, maybe an isolated shower. temperature between 9:00 and

11:00 a.m. will be 78. for the afternoon hours as e we heat things up and see higher humidity, could have an isolated thunderstorm that could be strong. so some scattered thunderstorms and isolated strong storm thrown in there. best time to exercise is about late morning as you head on to the early afternoon hours. rain intensity not going to need the big um brel a la. light to moderate rain from the storms. for the beach thursday and friday, 4th of july weekend, 83 with showers on friday. there's a chance during the afternoon. 4th of july we're looking at sunshine at the beach with a high of 87 degrees. here's our weekend. 89 to 88. right now it's looking dry. storm chances just about each day this week. back to you. sports coming up. caps are making moves. the wizards getting to see if he
