Australia’s military is becoming notorious for its culture of drinking and sexism. Which is probably not much fun if you’re a woman. A senior naval officer has just been convicted of no fewer than seven counts of indecency without consent. He’d been engaging in some pretty questionable behaviour in the workplace, including spanking a female sailor’s bare buttocks to “test her discipline and compliance”.
The military court hearing the charges against 58-year-old Lieutenant Commander, John Alan Jones, was told how he held a junior female sailor over his lap and explained that he needed to spank her to see how disciplined and compliant she was going to be in the navy. The woman made a secret recording of one of these instances, which was submitted as evidence.
Jones denies his acts were non-consensual. But he’s still going to have to go to prison for up to five years per indecency offence.
