Cita-cita itu memang terlaksana. Namun, noda kekerasan seksual yang dialami Sheppard saat menjadi tentara adalah nilai yang tak lekang.
Malam itu, cerita Sheppard, ada perayaan di markas AL Australia di Crib Point, Victoria. Seusai keriaan, malapetaka justru menimpa Sheppard. "Enam tentara angkatan laut (AL) yang lebih senior menelikung lalu memerkosa saya," kenang Sheppard.
Alhasil, peristiwa memalukan itu mengguncang jiwa Sheppard. "Saya bahkan hampir bunuh diri," katanya.
Pengakuan Sheppard, yang kini sudah pensiun dari dinasnya itu, meluncur dari mulutnya sebagai kesaksian atas tudingan tindakan kekerasan seksual yang terjadi di Akademi Pertahanan Australia di Canberra, sebagaimana warta AP dan AFP pada Kamis (7/4/2011). Rumor yang beredar, di akademi tersebut disebutkan kalau hubungan seksual antarsiswa adalah hal lazim. Padahal, teorinya, perbuatan itu justru dilarang keras.
"Kesaksian saya ini sekaligus harapan agar militer bertindak tegas terhadap para pelaku. Jangan lagi menutup-nutupi masalah tersebut," ungkap Sheppard.
