EDMONTON -- An Edmonton-based Canadian Armed Forces officer admitted to sending sexual images to a female military member at a court martial Tuesday.
Warrant Officer Jarvis Kevin Malone is accused of sexual misconduct and faces charges of abuse of subordinates, drunkenness and conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline.
The incidents took place between June 14 and Sept. 21, 2017, according to CAF.
Court heard Tuesday that Malone sent multiple sexual images to a female after a night of drinking with subordinates including her while on a refuelling task in McBride, B.C.
The court martial heard Malone offered to find someone he knew for the corporal to have sex with and he was bored.
She told him to go to bed but he continued to message her with explicit images, court heard.
One photo depicted six different women, each of which appeared to be performing fellation and read "Why the long face?" according to the statement of circumstances.
A prosecutor called those messages a case of "poor judgment" that impacted the corporal and her career negatively.
"The army is obviously a workplace and this was something where she felt harassed," said Capt. Ryan Gallant. "It affected her life and her comfort with being in the work space and that's essentially what was outlined in the victim impact statement."
Malone pleaded guilty to one charge of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline, but pleaded not guilty to the other two charges, both of which prosecutor asked the court to withdraw.
He was sentenced to a reprimand and a fine of $1,500.
The matter was heard in the military justice system.
