SYDNEY - The Australian military was hit by another scandal Wednesday after a young army recruit allegedly filmed himself having sex with a female cadet and broadcast it via Skype to his friends.
Defence Minister Stephen Smith said, if proven, he could not imagine a greater "betrayal of trust", after the unnamed 18-year-old woman at the elite Australian Defence Force Academy went public with her claims.
The woman alleges she had consensual sex but, unknown to her, her partner had set up webcams in the room with six of his friends watching the feed nearby. Still photos were also taken and had circulated at the academy, Australia's premier college for military recruits.
"It was like my whole world came crashing down around me," she said.
Smith warned that any conduct in the military that tarnished Australia's reputation would not be tolerated and defended the woman's decision to go public with her allegations.
The case is being examined by police and defence officials have warned that anyone found to have committed a crime faces termination of their military career.ORIGINAL SOURCE
