CFB Trenton housing agency evicts mother, daughters during sexual assault investigation
Global News
A former military spouse is getting evicted from housing on the CFB Trenton base despite a military police investigation into sexual assault allegations against her ex.
A woman and her family are being kicked out of military housing on CFB Trenton after her husband, a member of the military still working on the base, was accused of sexually assaulting her daughter.
She says while the couple had been separated on and off for two years, the final straw came three months ago when her now-13-year-old told her she had been sexually assaulted four years earlier by the woman’s husband in Quebec.
The mother’s identity is being concealed to protect her daughter.
“My then-eight-year-old daughter was a little upset and confused because she had gone to bed in one room with her siblings and fully clothed and woke up in another room with her underwear and her pyjama bottoms on the floor next to the bed that her father was sleeping in,” the mother says.
She claims he also propositioned her 18-year-old daughter.
She says the military police in Quebec are investigating her ex-husband for inappropriate touching of a minor and two counts of sexual assault.
Global News reached out to National Defence, which would not confirm the investigation, citing privacy concerns.
While the allegations have yet to be proven, now that the woman has separated from her spouse, military policies say she can’t live there anymore.
