Former chief of the defense staff Gen. Jonathan Vance has been charged with one count of obstruction of justice following a probe by military police into allegations of inappropriate behaviour.
Vance has been at the centre of a military reckoning over sexual misconduct allegations levelled against multiple senior leaders in the Canadian Forces.
According to the court documents, military police allege that between Feb. 1 and Feb. 3, Vance “did willfully attempt to obstruct the course of justice in a judicial proceeding by repeatedly contacting Mrs K.B. by phone and attempting to persuade her to make false statements about their past relationship to the Canadians Forces National Investigation Service, contrary to section 139(1) of the Criminal Code.”
