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. Before the vaccine role, Fortin had served as commander of the NATO training mission in Iraq and as commander of the 1st Canadian Division.
Fortin said he has also filed an official complaint with the Military Police Complaints Commission regarding “the way my case was investigated and handled” by military police. 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.
