According to a report from Global News Canada on May 4, local time, Lieutenant Colonel Raphaël Guay, the commander of the Canadian Military Intelligence Academy, had been arrested last week due to an investigation of “misconduct”. Suspended.
A spokesperson for the Canadian Ministry of Defense said to the media: "The commander of the Canadian Armed Forces Military Intelligence Academy has been temporarily suspended. After taking into account the needs of all relevant parties, this move can ensure the fairness and transparency of relevant investigations."
The spokesperson did not disclose whether the investigation was accused of "sexual misconduct", but said that "a number of behaviors may violate ethics."
The military sex scandal triggered by the former Canadian Chief of Defense Staff Jonason Vance's alleged sexual misconduct has now become a hot topic and has triggered a new round of turbulence in the political arena.
This phenomenon in the military is believed to have also spread to military academies.
According to a report released by Statistics Canada on October 8, 2020, at the Royal Military Academy of Canada and the Royal Military Academy of Saint-Jean in Haute-Richelieu, Quebec, 28% of military academies have experienced sexual assault and harassment.
The Canadian Military Intelligence Academy is located in Kingston, Ontario, and is a different institution from the Royal Canadian Military Academy in Kingston.
