Naval reservist charged in alleged sex assault at Halifax fleet school

WINDSOR, Ont. — A naval reservist in Windsor, Ont., has been charged in an alleged sexual assault in Halifax.

The Department of National Defence says it happened in April while the reservist was attending a course at Naval Fleet School (Atlantic).

It says the alleged victim was also taking part in the course.

Ordinary Seaman Andres Florian-Rodriguez is charged with sexual assault.

Last week a member of the armed forces was charged with accessing child pornography while on duty at New Brunswick’s Gagetown military base.
