DENVER — The military has ordered a review of how the Air Force Academy handles sexual-assault allegations after female cadets said they were reprimanded for reporting they were raped by classmates. Five women, most of whom have left the academy, were treated as if they were either crazy or promiscuous, said Dorothy Mackey, who founded a group that tracks sexual assaults in the military and has talked with the cadets. On Friday, the office of Air Force Secretary James Roche announced that a special review panel had been formed to review sexual-assault policies in the military branch, “with a particular emphasis on the Air Force Academy.”
