I hadn’t interpreted it that way and assumed it was a writ large comment but I appreciate the clarification,For clarity that leadership comment wasn’t supposed to come off as being at you in any way shape or form

So the Naval Officer who spoke about Officer X at the Commons Defence Committee is receiving threats via email.
You will have to google to find the article as it cannot be posted here.
I'm assuming then that these people don't know how to threaten people anonymously
Sort of. Years ago I knew a M/Cpl who got charged for something rather chickenshit. He ended up getting a $200 fine, but had come in 7 days to meet with his assisting officer and had the charge parade on a non parade admin night - so he made more than double the fine.If the guy makes money for the trial but at the end he gets what he deserves he can have the meal claim- it’s worth it
Several decades ago, young troops in a Res Inf unit had a thing going. They would commit minor offenses prior to Christmas, get charged, get the Cl A pay to prep for the trial and be fined only a percentage of it - leaving them money to party or buy presents.Sort of.

It actually specifically says the MPs aren't investigating and have no plans to do so. Nothing like a little whisteblower/witness intimidation to get quick action I guess.Unknown, but apparently it is being investigated, according to the article.

The double (triple?) standards is interesting; there are plenty of people who have been crucified and identified by name in press releases for less, (with zero follow up if charges were dropped, found not guilty etc) and this guy doesn't even have a rank attached.
Never go full RCN I guess.

Back when a reserve army unit was a platoon, not a section.Good Lord... in what decade was the whole disciplinary process that efficient?
I think it did, but then explicitly said the MPs aren't investigating and don't intend to, which I had to read a few times to make sure I hand't dropped a word or something. Not that the unit investigation won't try, but random PO1/CPO2 that gets tagged with it hardly has the resources of the MPs.I thought it said something about the unit investigating, perhaps I misunderstood.
That would be vigilante justice I think a lot of people could get behind.Honestly though, if someone was threatening you and you, with a spotless record and some tours in the bank, showed up and played smash face what kind of punishment are you looking at? Suspended sentence? Worse thing would be some lawyers fees and having to take some angery management classes you already signed up for and completed to show the judge you're in a better place now.
Perhaps the CAF learned from those previous experiences, when things fell apart and they had to go to court or settle with the named and shamed members.That would be vigilante justice I think a lot of people could get behind.
"I testified in Parliament, got threatened as a result, and my employer did nothing about it, so took it in my own hands. They were coming right for me, so it was self defence'.
I mostly found the RCN claim of 'Privacy Act' convenient, they are plenty happy to name and shame people who have only been accused well before any charges are on the table in other cases where it was an isolated incedent reported to the CoC, let alone a serial sexual abuser with numerous complaints that was testified before in Parliament.

I had a slightly elevated situation when I was on RSS. Soldier court-martailled, which resulted in multiple Class A days not just for the accused but also for other members of the unit who were required to be tasked to support the proceedings. In the end, the member in question was not guilty. So no fine, significant spending on salary.Sort of. Years ago I knew a M/Cpl who got charged for something rather chickenshit.

The 17 Wing CWO who was wrongly charged and publicly identified in 2019 enters the chat. His name is still available on the GoC news releases.Lawyers generally advise caution about reporting names in public.
That's generally the practice in cases where identifying the accused would identify the victim, such as intimate partner violence.As well, depending on the specific nature of the accusations, media may withhold names even if someone is ultimately charged.
