This happen in 1985, My Nephew was on ship when he was raped by two men. He reported it and it was written down. They kept him on ship with these two guys nothing was done to them and my Nephew had started drinking and haveing a lot of problems. It is to long of a story to write down I have his files and its to much. All of this finally came out by his doctor in the last year.
Question is:
Can we get a lawyer and go after the Military for all of his medical problems and for what had happen to him aboard ship. They kept these three together till he was discharged. Or is this to long ago to go after them. Would there be a statue of limation on this?
The VA finally gave him 70% for PTSD but that is not enough. HE is 44 yeas old has not been able to hold down a job, held all of this in till last year. Again to many medical problems to go through some of them are being deferred at this time. But we would like to go after the Navy for his rape. Can We?
Thanks

If his unemployability is caused by his service-connected disability, the VA considers him totally disabled and rates him at 100%. He should get a Veterans' Service Officer in his county to help him apply for this.
