19岁的英国陆军士兵Jaysley Beck在2021年7月于汉普郡参加训练后自杀身亡 1。在北约克郡Catterick进行的军事法庭审判中，两名军官因涉嫌不当处理Beck提出的性骚扰指控而受审 1。
Samantha Shepherd上校被控向副官Mae King表示没有身体接触发生，但King证实Shepherd实际上曾告诉她军士长Michael Webber试图亲吻Beck，只是Beck躲开了 1。根据法庭指控，Beck向Shepherd表述Webber触摸了她的腿并试图亲吻她 1。James Hook少校则被指控仅给Beck直到中午的时间决定是否投诉，法庭认为这构成了对她的施压而非赋权 1。两名军官均因"有损军纪和服役纪律的行为"遭到指控，但均否认相关指控 1。
A court martial at Catterick in North Yorkshire is examining allegations that two British Army officers failed to properly address a sexual assault complaint made by 19-year-old soldier Jaysley Beck before her death by suicide 1. Beck came forward following an incident during a training exercise in Hampshire in July 2021, in which she alleged that Sergeant Major Michael Webber touched her leg and attempted to kiss her 1.
Colonel Samantha Shepherd stands accused of misrepresenting Beck's account to a deputy, claiming there had been no physical contact when Beck had in fact reported that Webber touched her leg and attempted to kiss her 1. Deputy Mae King confirmed that Shepherd told her Webber had attempted to kiss Beck but that Beck had dodged the advance, though King understood this to mean "no physical contact" had occurred 1. Major James Hook is charged with giving Beck until noon to decide whether to file a formal complaint, an action prosecutors characterize as pressure rather than empowerment 1. Both officers deny the allegations, which relate to conduct considered prejudicial to good order and military discipline 1.
