Young woman testifies for fourth day at sailor’s sexual assault trial
HALIFAX — A young woman was quizzed Monday about the people she spoke to after allegedly being sexually assaulted by several British sailors on a Halifax air base, from her family doctor to military police investigators.
The complainant confirmed to defence lawyer Ian Hutchison that a military police officer called to inform her about the results of toxicology and DNA reports.
She said she exchanged texts with the officer several times between the alleged incident, in the barracks at 12 Wing Shearwater in April 2015, and a preliminary inquiry in the case one year later.
The woman confirmed that an investigator told her during her second police interview that the stories among other sources were “consistent.”
