now, what happens once you sign a perpetrator over to command?ettered discretion to do whatever it is they want, and what is it that they do do? first off, they drop 910 of them. they just don't do anything. then of the 1,025 where they actually take some action, do they court-martial them? no. only half of them, 529, actually got court-martialed. the rest, 256, were subjected to article 15 punishments, 109 to administrative discharges, and then 131 to "other adverse administrative actions," whatever the heck that means. and then of the convictions where they actually get jail time, when you work your way all the way through the numbers, what you're looking at is that out of 3,223 perpetrators, only 175 end up doing any jail time whatsoever. carolyn maloney: i have been in congress for 7 terms now, and every single term, we have had meetings with dod. and they come in and they confirm to us, "we're gonna "be serious.

if you would catch the perpetrators. it would eventually stop. punishing the victims, only em bold ens the perpetrator and creates a new canvas for them to payton. paint on. the only way they get caught is if it's a concerned neighbor the police happen to accidentally stumble across them when they are in the process of vandalizing somebody's property. i'm proposed two solutions to help curb this black and white. i hope the mayor's and others will propose several ideas. stake out known graffiti corridors with your graffiti abatement department or what you might call it and when these things occurred -- >> thank you very much. we give everyone equal time. you will have time to discuss with w w staff. next speaker. >> my name is michael man and my address is 428 grove street. i don't have an issue with the graffiti. my property is graffiti free currently. my issue is with dpw. i have recently gotten two bills from dpw, one was $263, the original bill in september 2011. i purchased the property in january 2012. i'm expected to pay the final bill of $

we want to ensure the perpetrator fears the system, not the victim. there is one other thing we need to address. many people have taken to the floor and said we need to go farther. the turner amendment is what we need to do to go farther. we have put in this bill currently a mandatory minimum meaning if you commit a sexual assault, you are subject to a statutory minimum that minimum in this bill unfortunately is only, you're out of the military. we want toin crease that to include two years of confinement. mr. chairman, 22125eu9s -- states have mandatory minimums that include confinement, incarceration. of those 22 states, we took the minimum so we're not going higher than any state. but here's the issue we need to remedy. under current law if you commit a sexual assault on a base that's in a state that has a mandatory minimum you might avoid a mandatory minimum and that has happened. in the case of marine corps gunnery sergeant nicholas howard he committed a rape on a 23-year-old woman. he was quick odd sexual assault due to d.n.a. tisting and it was

they've always been about moving the perpetrator. well, why would you move the perpetrator?ator. the victim's career should not be disrupted. the perpetrator's should. it's just shifting the focus from this is a problem that we are awkward around to this is a problem we have to get after. and i think a lot of the military gets that now. >> senator, thank you very much. we'll be watching closely today. >> okay. thank you. >>> just a few months ago the mississippi river didn't have enough water. now there's far too much of it. floodwaters broke through a levee last night in west alton, missouri, north of st. louis. >> the flooding threatened hundreds of people in the area, and another threat, this one in southern california. a wildfire is still burning in the forest north of los angeles. however, nearly 3,000 evacuees are back in their homes this morning. >>> a recent study predicts climate change will cause more midair turbulence. on sunday a singapore airlines flight to london dropped 65 feet in the air because of turbulence. it happened just as they were serving breakfast.

but the perpetrator be moved. there's no reason to disrupt the victim's career. the person who is accused of this need to be moved immediately. i don't care who it is. and so that's one of the pieces of the reform that is embraced by many of the different legislative proposals that have been put forward. >> another issue that has come up is the way sexual assaults are reported. the whole issue between rape and unwanted sexual advances. can you speak to that? >> yeah. one of the points i tried to make today is the military has really mucked this up in terms of mushing together unwanted sexual comments or what we think of, hostile work environment, sexual harassment. and the brutal, violent crime of sexual assault. they are not the same thing. it is not a continuum. there are a lot of nice guys, quote-unquote, who are very polite, who commit rape and there are a lot of people who made bad jokes and dirty jokes and say wrong things that would never be violent. and they've actually not separated those out in their statistics, so the number that's being thrown around
