Retired vice admiral Haydn Edmundson, who is accused of sexually assaulting a woman more than 30 years ago, has maintained his innocence. The verdict in the sex assault trial of retired vice admiral Haydn Edmundson, who is accused of attacking a woman more than 30 years ago, is set to be delivered Monday in an Ottawa courtroom.
Viau said the attack happened inside Edmundson's cabin while the ship was docked at a U.S. navy base on Nov. 8, 1991. At the time of the alleged assault, Edmundson was a lieutenant-commander, the navigator of the ship. Court heard that Viau's duties aboard the ship included waking up officers, including Edmundson, for their night shifts.
She said she lost her composure, yelled and turned on the lights, in part to wake up Edmundson's bunkmate so he could witness the behaviour she had to deal with.
