Two young men were charged on Friday over a sex scandal at a prestigious Australian military college which led to a review of the treatment of women in the armed forces. Canberra police said the two men, aged 18 and 19, were arrested on Friday at the Australian Defence Force Academy over the March incident, in which a female cadet was allegedly unknowingly filmed and broadcast having sex.
"Police will allege that... a female cadet was recorded without her consent engaging in consensual sexual intercourse," Australian capital territory police said in a statement. Both men have been charged with using "a carriage service to cause offence", a crime which covers the abuse of any electronic communications service. The older man was also charged with an act of indecency.
They faced court on Friday and were granted bail but ordered not to contact the complainant or other witnesses except in the course of classes at the academy. The department of defence said it had been advised of the arrests.
