OTTAWA — An Ottawa judge says he needs more time to finish the decision in the sexual assault trial for former vice-admiral Haydn Edmundson.
Edmundson was the head of military personnel in 2021 when he was accused of raping a woman on board a navy ship in 1991.At trial the complainant testified that she was 19 years old at the time of the alleged assault, and in the navy's lowest rank, while Edmundson was an officer.Edmundson pleaded not guilty, and during his own testimony he denied having any sexual contact with the woman.
The case was among a series of high-profile accusations made against senior military leaders in 2021, which resulted in an independent review that called for sweeping changes to the Armed Forces' culture.
