Military concludes Maj.-Gen. Dany Fortin did not commit sexual assault
A Quebec judge acquitted Fortin in December of one count of sexual assault laid in response to an alleged incident in 1988 at the Royal Military College in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que.
The Department of National Defence said Vice-Admiral Bob Auchterlonie reviewed Fortin's case and concluded that "based on the balance of probabilities, he did not engage in sexual misconduct.""As such, the process did not result in any administrative action and an administrative review is not required," said DND spokesperson Daniel Le Bouthillier in a statement to CBC News.
"I strongly disagree with the notion that my issue has reached 'resolution' stage," said Fortin in a statement sent to CBC News.
