Vice Admiral Haydn Edmundson has been charged with sexual assault and indecent acts, the Department of National Defence announced Tuesday.
… Stéphanie Viau told CBC that Edmundson, who was a lieutenant commander at the time, exposed his genitals to her while on a navy ship during an exercise. Viau, at the time, was a 19-year-old member of the Canadian Navy.
She alleges that several days later Edmundson raped her onboard HMCS Provider while the ship was docked in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
Edmundson has denied the allegations.
