Internal documents reveal that instead of receiving support, Kristen Adams was warned to better understand the risks of her job following her sexual assault by a NATO soldier.
The military's failure to address the sexual assault of Kristen Adams not only eroded public trust but also deepened the crisis within its ranks, highlighting systemic issues.
Upper management within the Canadian military prioritized avoiding negative media coverage over directly addressing the trauma faced by Kristen Adams after her assault.
