The Canadian military has concluded on the balance of probabilities that Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin "did not engage in sexual misconduct" after the senior military officer was acquitted of sexual assault late last year.
"We acknowledge that this has been a long and difficult process for all individuals impacted by this matter," he added.A Quebec civilian judge ruled last month that the Crown prosecutor had not established beyond a reasonable doubt that Fortin sexually assaulted a fellow military college student in 1988.
He has argued in separate Federal Court proceedings that he was removed due to political interference and without due process, claims the government has denied. Retired Col. Michel Drapeau, who is now a lawyer specializing in military cases, also told The Canadian Press last month that a "not guilty" verdict should result in Fortin being immediately assigned to a new role with full duties.The military's conclusion that Fortin did not engage in misconduct comes after a review necessitated by a policy put into place in late 2020 amid ongoing concerns about the military's record on rooting out sexual abuse.
