The sexual assault trial of retired vice-admiral Haydn Edmundson, the military’s former head of human resources, begins today in an Ottawa courtroom, more than 30 years after the attack is alleged to have occurred
Edmundson, who later resigned as head of military personnel command and retired from Canada’s Armed Forces, was charged in December 2021 with one count of sexual assault and once count of committing indecent acts.
During Edmundson’s arraignment, the court heard that the alleged assault took place on HMCS Provider when it was docked at Pearl Harbour, Hawaii, in September through November 1991.
Edmundson has pleaded not guilty and denied any
