As for the US commander who brought this to the attention of the MoD,
well even if he did not witness any of the events, if his troops or someone
else brings the allegations to him...it is his duty to follow up on them.
All in all, sounds like the press trying to sensationalize the process when it
is probably routine....now if the Brit Officer is foud guilty, now that will be a story.

I don't think you read it properly magik. It a Major that made the allegations after overhearing someone else. Once he goes to his commanding officer with a 2,500 word statement the commander has no option. It's just unusual for this sort of thing to go on. Soldiers usually support each other unless something serious happens. I haven't heard of any other case like this.
