Sex tape ruined my career, says former soldier [Canadian female soldier]
QMI AGENCY ^ | MAY 16, 2013 | JEAN-FRANCOIS RACINE

WARNING: Story contains graphic language

MONTREAL - A stolen iPhone and a sex tape that's been circulating for three years has left a young woman's military career in ruins.

Alexandra-Kim Martin-Roberge joined the Canadian Forces in May 2009, dreaming of serving in the infantry.

One of only two women in the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment, the Quebecer had planned to join the combat mission in Afghanistan.

But one indiscretion destroyed her reputation, her self-esteem and her integrity in the eyes of comrades.

In 2010, while on a 12-month assignment in Alberta, a fellow soldier stole her smart phone and copied a 13-minute clip that depicted her having sex, her face clearly visible.

"He managed to take my phone during a patrol," Martin-Roberge told QMI Agency. "Ten days later I found out all the guys were swapping it. It was like an atomic bomb. For a woman in the infantry, this is the worst thing that can happen."

Other soldiers began making fun of her, even to her face.

"They said I was doing porn movies," said Martin-Roberge. "They called me a slut and a bitch. I'm so sorry that I made this video, but I didn't do anything wrong. It was stolen from me, and since then, I've suffered a public rape."

Foreign troops eventually watched the sex tape and American soldiers even asked her for her autograph. She went on leave, then rejoined the 3rd Battalion but got into an altercation with another soldier who insulted her.

Martin-Roberge now faces a court martial over the confrontation and is currently on sick leave. She has yet to obtain a full discharge and is trying to switch to a career in real estate.

Officials at CFB Valcartier near Quebec City tell QMI that they're aware of Martin-Roberge's case.

The Department of National Defence says it's taking the woman's allegations very seriously and is looking into her claims.

Meanwhile, Martin-Roberge is seeing a therapist.

"My dignity and reputation are dirt," she said. "I think everyone at Valcartier base must have (the clip)."

"People who know me know that I would have given anything to my regiment. I made an effort to be accepted as a woman in a male environment."

It's not the first time a soldier's sexual escapades have gone public.

A soldier in Kingston, Ont., was charged in 2001 following release of a video depicting a male soldier having sex with a female student.

Have the words, “I owe my career success to that sex tape I made” ever been uttered?

Why, yes... yes they have!

Bottom line.

She looks like Alfalfa without the cowlick?

I see your point, but on a scale of one to ten, all women jump two to three points upon deployment. Especially in an infantry unit and especially after a few months in Afghanistan, she would be the Queen of All Desire.

I have no sympathy for people this stupid, especially the young tech-savvy people. When it comes out how much of your activity is tracked, why does anyone assume that people working at the cellphone vendor haven’t already seen it and passed it around anyway?

Plain stupid; will others learn from it?

I'm so sorry that I made this video, but I didn't do anything wrong.

Oxymoronic phrase.

Way too many people, mainly Libs, like to equate "did nothing wrong" with "did nothing illegal"; and then make the leap that that makes it not immoral.

Making such videos is just a bit perverted; and keeping it on such a device is just plain stupid.

Have to wonder if it was lesbian, rather hetero, sex romp she videoed...adding another dimension of wrongness.

Come to think of it, I bet alot of people got job advancement, raises, $$$ rewards, etc. for NOT showing a inconvient sex tape with the other's "significant partner.

“I think her problems started when she decided to make that tattoo on her arm.”

Indeed! All of us fellow freepers with tats are the vilest of mental scum! Absolute human garbage we are. And morally corrupt to boot.

Little wonder Conservatism is in such a freaking mess...
