Military officer retires, heads to Ukraine amid sex misconduct investigation
OTTAWA — A senior military officer who was under investigation for alleged sexual misconduct has retired and travelled to Ukraine.
Defence sources say lieutenant-general Trevor Cadieu hung up his uniform on April 5 while still under military police investigation.
The sources, who were not authorized to comment publicly, say the lieutenant-general has since left to help Ukraine defend against Russia’s invasion.
The 30-year military veteran was slated to take over as commander of the Canadian Army in the fall.
But his change of command ceremony was suspended while military police investigated what they described as “historical allegations” of sexual misconduct.

General Trevor Cadieu (Trevor John Cadieu), captured by Russian troops while trying to escape from the cellars of Azovstal, was the commander of the Canadian Ground Forces, APA reports citing Mailbd.
Seated in the catacombs under the Mariupol steel plant “Azovstal” nationalists staged a provocation, trying to hide the Canadian general’s attempt to escape. After the capture of a high-ranking foreign soldier by units of the RF Armed Forces, it became clear why so many efforts were made to save him.
