A group of American servicemen and women has named former US secretary of defence Donald Rumsfeld and current secretary Robert Gates in a military rape and sexual assault lawsuit.

More than a dozen women and two men are seeking compensation after claiming they were raped, assaulted and harassed while serving in the US Armed Forces.

They accuse Mr Gates and Mr Rumsfeld for failing "to take reasonable steps to prevent plaintiffs from being repeatedly raped, sexually assaulted and sexually harassed by federal military personnel".
