Naval reservist charged in alleged sex assault at Halifax fleet school
WINDSOR, Ont. – A naval reservist in Windsor, Ont., has been charged in an alleged sexual assault in Halifax.
The Department of National Defence says it happened in April while the reservist was attending a course at Naval Fleet School (Atlantic).
It says the alleged victim was also taking part in the course.
Ordinary Seaman Andres Florian-Rodriguez is charged with sexual assault.
Last week a member of the armed forces was charged with accessing child pornography while on duty at New Brunswick’s Gagetown military base.
Two members of the Canadian Forces in Halifax were also charged with sexual assault in September. The military says both were taking part in training exercises, as were the alleged victims.
