Military reassigns Maj. Gen. Peter Dawe from sexual misconduct review files
Global News
Dawe, who wrote a positive reference letter for a sex offender, had been tasked with working on a number of reviews related to sexual misconduct within the Canadian Armed Forces.
Maj. Gen. Peter Dawe, who wrote a positive reference letter for a sex offender, will no longer run the reviews related to sexual misconduct within the Canadian Armed Forces.
In a statement to Global News late on Tuesday, Lt.-Gen Frances Allen, vice chief of the Defence Staff, said following a discussion with members of the survivor community, Dawe “will be undertaking the important task of engaging with that community to better understand how he can contribute to meaningful culture change”.
Dawe was directed to leave his post “immediately” in early May, following reports he wrote a character reference for another service member who had been convicted of six criminal counts, including sexual assault.
A source confirmed the news first reported by the Ottawa Citizen that Dawe was back at work — and directly working with the material from multiple sexual misconduct reviews.
