Canada’s top military officer says military police have charged retired lieutenant-general Trevor Cadieu, who is now in Ukraine, with two counts of sexual assault.
Provost Marshal Brig.-Gen. Simon Trudeau says the charges relate to incidents that are alleged to have taken place in 1994 at the Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont.
Trudeau says military police opted to lay the charges after civilian counterparts decided not to accept the case because the investigation was nearly finished.
