Male rape prevalent in UK army

3 events reported in two years.... I'm not sure that qualifies as 'prevalent'. And I wonder how many of the assaults are more hazing incidents reported as sexual assault. LINK

At least three rapes and 22 sexual assaults have been perpetrated against men in the armed forces in the two years to October 2014, according to new figures released under a freedom of information request.

No surprise, Streck. "Naval traditions are nothing but rum, sodomy and lash," as has been erroneously attributed to Churchill. I'm sure that some prior service RN squids just brought it to the Army in an inter service transfer or something.
