A corporal with the Canadian Armed Forces faces multiple charges in connection with an alleged sexual assault on a military base in 2011.

Investigators say recordings were found on electronic devices in a private residence of a Canadian Armed Forces member in Washington, D.C.

Officials say the search of the accused’s home was carried out in January by the Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) with assistance from local police, and investigators say multiple devices were seized.

Officials say one of the videos in question showed an alleged sexual assault against a member of the Canadian Armed Forces. Investigators say the alleged sexual assault happened on Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt in British Columbia in 2011.

The CFNIS charged Corporal Colin McGregor on Wednesday.

McGregor faces multiple charges including, sexual assault, voyeurism, interception, and breaking and entering, as well as possession of property obtained by crime, theft, transmission of intimate image, possession of a device for surreptitious interception and possession of child pornography.

McGregor is currently based in Gagetown, N.B. at 5th Canadian Division Support Base, officials say.

The case is now being handled by the military justice system. None of the allegations have been tested in court.

The commanding officer of the CFNIS said the case illustrates the “unique international policing role” of the Canadian Forces Military Police.

“Whereas other policing agencies may have been limited in their access to this individual, the Canadian National Investigation Service exercise their police jurisdiction wherever members of the Canadian Armed Forces serve around the world,” said Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Bolduc in a statement.

“Just as when they are deployed abroad, our investigators in this case were able to partner with a local policing agency in the United States, navigate diplomatic requirements and pursue this investigation across borders to bring this individual to justice.”

The CFNIS operates within the Canadian Forces Military Police Group, which investigates serious matters relating to Canadian Armed Forces personnel -- such as soldiers -- and employees of the Department of National Defence.
