Nominee for Canada’s army commander accused of sexual misconduct

Trevor Cadieu is the latest senior military officer to be embroiled in a misconduct investigation

The Canadian military has delayed the appointment of its next army commander after allegations of sexual misconduct were made against the man chosen for the role – the latest in a string of senior officers to be investigated for misconduct.

Lt Gen Trevor Cadieu was to be sworn in as the head of Canada’s army at a ceremony in early September. But that event was cancelled after the military learned of “historical allegations” against Cadieu.
