Harrogate army college: rape allegations spark calls for independent inquiry

Four women allege rape and sexual harassment at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, prompting Wes Streeting to say he is sickened and the defence secretary to promise detailed scrutiny and culture change across the armed forces; while the MoD notes external scrutiny and positive Ofsted findings, police records show multiple sexual offences and hundreds of complaints since 2018, fueling calls for an independent inquiry into the college’s culture and safeguarding.
