Certainly, sir.
Good morning, ma'am.
With respect to any complaint of sexual misconduct, whether that be sexual assault or otherwise, and certainly in your scenario of a sexual assault that has occurred, regardless of rank, the military police will investigate that offence to the fullest extent possible. That may include arresting the subject or the accused. That will include collecting all evidence and all witness testimony, and compiling all facts in the matter, and then from that point forward, determining whether or not charges would be warranted.
To get back to your previous point about whether that might potentially impact whether or not these individuals need to be separated, yes, that would be a consideration, certainly, with respect to how we would deal with that situation. On top of that, and of primary importance, is the victim and ensuring that we have immediate victim services support for the victim, and ensuring that we have continued victim support throughout the process, whether that be internal or referring to additional agencies of support that might be in our communities.
