US Army sexual assault whistleblower Adrian Martinez found dead

Adrian Martinez, a U.S. Army soldier who came forward two years ago as a whistleblower in a sexual assault case, has been found dead. He reported abuse within the Army and, under the law, the military should have protected him. His family says he was mistreated, abandoned, and targeted for further abuse after seeking help. The case is drawing attention to failures in how the armed forces handle retaliation against service members who report sexual assault.
Why now: The death of a whistleblower who said the Army failed to protect him raises fresh questions about military accountability for sexual assault and retaliation.
