WASHINGTON—Women who serve on board U.S. Navy ships and young service members at large training bases were at the greatest risk of becoming victims of sexual assault, according to a study commissioned by the Pentagon and released Friday. The study, which examined the persistent problem of sexual assault in the military, found that women serving at the U.S. naval base in Charleston were at highest risk nationwide, with 17%—or nearly one in six—reporting in a survey that they had been sexually assaulted.
