The Military Police Complaints Commission is probing how the military handled Lt.-Gen. Whelan’s sexual misconduct case, raising serious questions about the investigation.
Ottawa: So, there’s this big investigation going on about how the military dealt with Lt.-Gen. Steven Whelan’s case. He got kicked out of his top job back in 2021 after a woman, who worked under him, accused him of having an inappropriate relationship.
In 2022, military police charged him with some serious stuff, but then the charges were dropped during his court martial the following year. It was a messy situation, especially since 2021 was a rough year for the Armed Forces, with a lot of high-ranking officials facing similar accusations.
Now, Whelan is suing both the federal government and his accuser. The head of the Military Police Complaints Commission is saying that if Whelan’s claims about the police’s handling of his case are true, it could mean they really dropped the ball on the investigation.
This whole thing is raising eyebrows and making people wonder just how well the military is handling these serious allegations. It’s definitely a story to keep an eye on.
