OTTAWA -- A member of the Canadian Forces has been charged with sexual assault.

The Canadian Forces Investigation Service says the alleged crime took place in July at a cadet training centre at Canadian Forces Base Cold Lake in Alberta.

The service says the alleged crime did not involve any youth attending the training camp.

Charged is officer cadet Oscar Morgado, who is also a student at the Royal Military College of Canada.

The college is in Kingston, Ont.

The next step is a possible court martial, but no date has yet been set.

"The Canadian Armed Forces takes all reports of sexual misconduct by its members very seriously and, in all cases, action is taken to determine facts, conduct applicable investigations, analyse available evidence and, if warranted, lay the appropriate charges," Lt.-Col. Francis Bolduc, commanding officer for the investigation service, said in a news release.
