Military Police Hold Most Sexual Assault Cases

Military police have secretly held onto nearly 70% of sexual assault cases since 2021 — 595 out of 879 — despite promises to transfer them to civilian courts. Originally meant as a temporary fix following Justice Louise Arbour’s damning report, the military system clung to power, leaving victims with a broken promise. Only 284 cases were actually handed over, and even the military’s own justification — victim preference or public safety — barely holds up, with just 38% of retained cases citing victim choice. The fix is finally coming: Bill C-11, set to take effect in mid-August, will officially shift jurisdiction to civilian courts — with a three-year review to see if it actually works.
