The US military has been at the center of a sexual assault crisis over the past several years, within an estimated 26,000 members of the armed services suffering sexual assaults in 2012 alone, according to internal data. While women servicemembers are more likely to be victim of assaults, the majority of incidents (53 percent) in 2012, actually were perpetrated by men against other men. The military says it's working to try and resolve the issue internally, and members of Congress are debating one another about what and can should be done, but now the US Navy itself appears to be working on an unusual method of its own: virtual avatar therapy, involving Microsoft's Kinect motion-controller.
