A former navy serviceman at C-F-B Trenton has been cleared of a sexual assault charge.
Retired Petty Officer First Class Robert McDougall was convicted in a 2007 court martial of raping a female Canadian Forces Captain, but a Department of National Defence spokesperson says he was found not guilty at Eight Wing at the conclusion of his appeal yesterday.
McDougall, who left the military in 2008, was sentenced to a year in jail after the first trial, but remained free pending the appeal.
The complainant claimed McDougall sexually assaulted her while both were on a training exercise in Bermuda in November, 2006.
