ADFA Cadet Charged
ADFA Cadet Charged
A foreign cadet
who is attending ADFA will appear in the ACT Magistrates
Court on Tuesday 29 May in relation to an alleged incident
involving acts of indecency at ADFA in early
May.
The Australian Defence Force and the
Australian Defence Force Academy takes such allegations very
seriously.
ADFA cadets brought this matter to the
attention of the ADFA senior leadership. As soon as the
leadership was made aware of this matter, they notified the
Australian Defence Force Investigative Service (ADFIS) and
ACT Policing.
The safety and wellbeing of cadets
at ADFA is our priority. Defence is providing ongoing
support to all parties involved in this
matter.
ADFA expects all of its people to adhere to
the highest standards of behaviour. The vast majority of
ADFA Cadets understand and conform to these high
standards. The conduct that is alleged in this matter is
completely at odds with those standards and goes against the
Academy's values.
As this matter will go before
the ACT Courts, it is not appropriate to make further
comment at this
time.
