ST. HUBERT, Que. – Another member of the Canadian Forces (CF) has been charged with sexual assault against a military colleague, following an incident that allegedly occurred in Nunavut last June. A Feb. 14 news release from the Department of National Defence stated that Corporal Frédéric Richer, who is based in St. Hubert, has been accused of assaulting another CF member while the latter was working with a technical maintenance team in Nunavut. Cpl. Richer is now charged with one count of sexual assault, which is punishable under section 130 of the National Defence Act. “Wherever Canadian Armed Forces members serve in Canada or throughout the world, the Canadian Forces Military Police are committed to supporting and protecting victims of sexual assault,” Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Bolduc, commanding officer of CF’s National Investigation Service, said in a press statement. “This charge reflects that commitment and is another example of the effectiveness of the Canadian Forces National Investigations Service to bring these matters to justice.” The date and location of the court martial is still to be determined, the release noted.
