Former Academy Student Tells Her Assault Experiences

Lynn Hall wishes she could go back to her 20-year-old self standing on the University of Colorado Boulder campus, grab her younger shoulders and share the news that she proudly published a memoir about her rape on the United States Air Force Academy campus in Colorado.
