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.

Sorry, buddy - it’s definitely not a plus for most of us.

Nope. She did something stupid. “Wrong” is a law thing. “stupid” is a cultural thing.

"Illegal" not “Wrong” is a law thing.

JMHO

And now, with the recording, they know that you did, at least to part of it, at least once.

You have to wonder about the world view of a woman that wants to be in the infantry killing people.

She's in the Canadian military.

When you equate tats with moral clarity, you might want to realize that a good number of Right wingers are inked. If you are opposed, that’s fine by me. Your choice. But try not to lump us in with leftist morons.

She had her iphone with sex video on patrol with her. What would happen if it got into enemy hands? Idiots who think the military is a hobby.

“When will these women learn that allowing their de jour “boyfriend for life” videotape/ or record their intimate moments, the first thing they’ll do is share it “

Yup. Ask DR Laura (Schlessinger) about that. Although in all fairness her indiscretions were more of a Playboy photo shoot but embarrassing none the less

Your Question: "Aren’t there no boundaries anymore?"

Answer: There are no boundries, except maybe cannibalism among Westerners.

Ask DR Laura (Schlessinger) about that.

I forgot about her.

It just reinforces the idea that the minute you agree to be photoed or recorded in that manner, you have lost the right to control your fate....even many, many years later.

That's why alot of today's teenagers who are so free with their personal lives(especially on Facebook)) are going to encounter problems later in life.
