Here is the actual statement put out last night by the Canadian Forces/DND:

We can confirm that a potential instance of sexual misconduct occurred during a CANSOFCOM deployment to Jamaica in November 2015 as part of Exercise TROPICAL DAGGER. The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service (CFNIS) has an ongoing investigation into the matter, which involves two Canadian Armed Forces members from the Canadian Special Operations Regiment located in Petawawa, Ontario.

What we can say at this time is that once allegations were brought forward, the Command acted swiftly and contacted CFNIS to investigate.

The alleged victim of the inappropriate sexual behaviour was offered counselling, emotional support and other services.
