The officer claimed she woke to find Captain James Key had stripped and was lying with his arm draped over her torso.

Key, 26, of 3rd Regiment, Royal Military Police and a graduate of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, allegedly told her: “I did not touch you” before dressing and leaving her quarters.

The pair had not been involved in a relationship but knew each other because they shared the same mess at a British Army barracks in Ireland at the time.

Violated

In a video testimony played to Catterick Military Court the officer said her room was in an isolated location at the time of the alleged incident between September and November 2020.
