400 British troops charged with sexual offenses since 2014

Since 2014, around 400 British troops have been charged with sexual offenses against fellow service members, including serious crimes like rape and assault. This includes charges against 11 female personnel. In the past two years, 56 individuals were dismissed for inappropriate relationships with recruits, part of a total of 104 firings for violating the military's zero tolerance policy on sexual misconduct. The Ministry of Defence acknowledged the seriousness of these allegations and stated that more efforts are needed to address the issue. The case of 19-year-old Gunner Jaysley Beck, who died by suicide after reported harassment, has drawn significant attention.
