Former military officer charged with sexual assault in British Columbia
OTTAWA — A former officer stationed at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt in British Columbia has been charged with sexual assault.
National Defence says in a news release that the assault was alleged to have occurred against another military employee in 2010.
It says Simon Duvall faces one count of sexual assault under section 271 of the Criminal Code, punishable under section 130 of the National Defence Act.
Because the accused was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces at the time of the alleged assault, National Defence says the matter is proceeding in the military justice system for possible court martial.
