"Too many survivors were rugged about this."
Military sexual assault survivors are pastors and Canadians It warns about serving officers, including military lawyers. Social media to help retired generals accused of rape.
Kadiu was accused of raping a female student at a military college in 1994. He recently returned from Ukraine and was released after being arrested. Cadieu will appear in the Kingston District Court in August to face two counts of sexual assault.
A second retired officer, Cory Gelowitz, was charged with one case of sexual assault.
The accusation stems from a complaint filed with the Canadian Armed Forces National Investigation Agency in September by a retired female Army officer who attended the Royal Military University. She claims to have been raped by two men who are her senior cadets in her room at her RMC.
Cadieu has denied cheating. Gelowitz did not respond to the request for comment. The charges have not been proved in court.
A recent LinkedIn post by retired Canadian SEAL officer James Corey has caused anger among survivors of sexual assault. Chorley emphasized the CBC's article on the accusations filed against Cadieu, saying that "accusations and media-based convictions of people like Trevor are offensive and ridiculous."
Chorley's comments were "highly appreciated" by 15 military officers and defense personnel, including senior pastor Lt. Col. Marc Torchinsky, Lt. Col. Ryan Smith, Chief of Staff of the 4th Canadian Division, and Lt. Col. Keith. .. Judge Reichert advocate, civil servant Dan Thomas, military development director Scott Gillingham, Lieutenant Colonel Clay Luke, and defense strategy adviser Philip Leclerc.
NATO Lieutenant Colonel John Timmermans responds to Chorley by calling Canadian troops "victims" who blame sexual misconduct and assault. He said he needed to stop. .. He said that in some cases the individual alleging sexual assault was actually a "guilty party."
Retired Major Donna Riguidel explained that serving military personnel made LinkedIn uneasy. "A great many survivors were rugged about this," said Rigaidel, who herself was sexually assaulted. "This is why so many people in the army didn't come out 20 years ago, and probably that's why the survivors who read this didn't come out now."
Rigaidel, who is currently consulting on cultural changes and helping survivors of sexual assault, pointed out that senior Canadian military leaders have taken no action on LinkedIn's activities.
Neither Chief of the Defense Staff General Wayne Eyre nor Lieutenant General Joe Paul, Army Commander, commented. "Some of the emotions expressed online have caused real harm to victims of sexual misconduct, affecting their ability to empower them to move forward safely without fear of retaliation or further harm. I understand that, "said a defense statement to the newspaper. The
statement added that such behavior is unacceptable and the military "reminds all CAF members of their responsibility to ensure that online behavior is appropriate and respected." ..
However, defense sources have confirmed that no action of any kind will be taken against any officer, and they are free to continue to post their opinions.
Riguidel said the woman who complained to Cadieu endured an unprecedented campaign aimed at damaging the credibility of her personality, and military leadership "I threw her under the bus," he said.
Women's identities are shared among executives, including Air staff. Online comments about the victim's mental state and motives are posted online. Similar comments were made at the official meeting at the Defense Headquarters.
In an unprecedented move, the Canadian Army distributed Kadiu's statement denying misconduct to the press. The suspect said it clearly showed that Air and his senior leader were behind Kadu, despite an ongoing police investigation.
Retired military personnel have praised Kadu for the past eight months. Retired Brig.-Gen. James Cox, a fellow at Norman Patterson School at Carlton University, argued that the allegations against Kadu could be "a sedition that undermines national leadership."
Cadieu has also been praised online by military sexual assault survivors Annalize Schamuhn, a retired captain, and a retired lieutenant colonel. Eleanor Taylor announced last year that she would leave the army for sexual misconduct among Canadian military leaders.
Retired Lieutenant Mike Day praised Kadiu, and in a tweet on April 21, Kadiu was not only the most capable officer he had ever worked with, but also "a whistleblower." "Compassion for" tweeted that he had dealt with the current situation.
Cadieu's alleged victim disputed Day's allegations that he had to request her legal order to prevent Cadieu from contacting her. ..
