Over one in 10 teenage girls in the Armed Forces claim they have been sexually assaulted or raped by instructors and fellow troops.
The shock figure emerged after the Ministry of Defence admitted 47 recruits under 18 – most of them female – complained of being attacked last year.
Some alleged victims were at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, North Yorks, where recruits aged 16 and 17 have basic training.
