A former officer stationed at Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt has been charged with sexual assault.
National Defence says in a news release that the assault was alleged to have occurred against another military employee in 2010.
Because the accused was a member of the Canadian Armed Forces at the time of the alleged assault, National Defence says the matter is proceeding in the military justice system for possible court martial.
Major Jean-Marc Mercier, a senior public affairs officer with the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal and Canadian Forces Military Police Group, says a date and location are still to be determined in both cases for trial.
Simon Duvall, a former officer of the 4th Artillery Regiment, faces one count of sexual assault.
