Former student says someone hid a webcam in her Royal Military College dorm. No one was ever charged
A former student at the Royal Military College is speaking out about a 2018 incident where a hidden webcam was found in her dorm room. Despite an investigation by military police, no charges were filed, leading the survivor to highlight systemic failures and sexism within the Canadian Armed Forces.
Why it matters
The story underscores persistent issues regarding sexual misconduct and institutional accountability within military organizations.
"My whole body just went completely cold," she said during a recent interview at her home in Kingston, N.S.
Documents obtained by Stewart through Access to Information legislation, and shared with CBC News, show the Canadian Forces Military Police launched an investigation into voyeurism and breaking and entering offences on Oct. 31, 2018 — the same day Stewart discovered the webcam in her Kingston, Ont., dorm room and reported it to her superiors.
The following day, the National Investigation Service — a specialized unit that investigates serious matters — took over her case. According to the documents, no charges were ever laid due to insufficient evidence.
