Kristen Adams was working at a canteen for troops in Latvia when she was assaulted.

She filed a formal complaint but was told little could be done because Canadian military police did not have jurisdiction to investigate.

She was warned she should have better understood the risks of the job.

But the army’s mishandling of the assault prompted outrage and disbelief among staff.

It has eroded public trust in the institution and weakened morale within ranks.
