A soldier at the Canadian military base in Oromocto, N.B., is facing several charges, including sexual assault, voyeurism and possession of child pornography, after electronic devices and videos were seized from his former residence near Washington, D.C., in February.
The charges involve two alleged victims, members of the Canadian Armed Forces in Washington and Esquimalt, B.C., at the time of the alleged incidents, said Lamirande.
The charges stem from the Washington-area member’s discovery of a recording device at their private residence in January, said Lamirande.
“The victim reported discovery of the device to their chain of command and the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service was notified,” she said in an email.
When the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service investigated, the device “was linked to the accused,” said Lt. (Navy) Blake Patterson, public affairs officer for the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal and Canadian Forces Military Police Group.
“Based on that,” the investigation service executed a search warrant at McGregor’s home on Feb. 16, with the assistance of local police, and seized “a number of computers, hard drives, computer equipment and other media storage devices,” said Patterson.
Among the recordings found on those devices was a video of an alleged sexual assault against a member at CFB Esquimalt in 2011, he said.
“That took the investigation beyond just the initial discovery of the device in Washington to the sexual assault alleged to have occurred in Esquimalt, and the charges today reflect both those incidents.”
