In 2010, a lesbian woman in the military in South Korea was raped by her supervisor who said she needed to try men. She became pregnant and had to have an abortion. After that, a second man in the military raped her. This week, both men have been finally found found not guilty of rape by the Seoul Higher Military Court. You can read more details about what happened here in this petition by the victim’s girlfriend.
