Defence force soldier<br />

• By Kurt Bayer<br />

A NEW Zealand Defence Force<br />

soldier has been found guilty of<br />

groping a female subordinate at a<br />

function.<br />

Royal New Zealand Army<br />

Medical Corps staff sergeant<br />

Jeremy Leslie Boyd denied a September<br />

22, 2016 indecent assault<br />

at Burnham Military Camp,<br />

30km south of Christchurch.<br />

<strong>The</strong> senior non-commissioned<br />

officer faced a court martial at<br />

Burnham Military Camp outside<br />

Christchurch after being charged<br />

under the Crimes Act 1961 –<br />

with an alternative accusation of<br />

common assault.<br />

Boyd also faced a charge of<br />

failing to comply with written<br />

orders contrary to the Armed<br />

Forces Discipline Act 1971,<br />

which alleged that at Burnham<br />

Military Camp on December 5,<br />

2018 he failed to set an example<br />

of good conduct by saying to a<br />

junior subordinate, “this is my<br />

last chance to get you wasted,<br />

corporals are my cut off”, or<br />

words to that effect.<br />

That also had an alternative<br />

charge, of “doing an act likely<br />

to prejudice service discipline”<br />

contrary to the Armed Forces<br />

Discipline Act 1971, again at<br />

Burnham, more than two years<br />

later, on December 5, 2018.<br />

<strong>The</strong> soldier denied the<br />

charges but has been<br />

found guilty after two days<br />

of evidence at the court<br />

martial.<br />

He is no longer based at<br />

Burnham, the NZDF says.<br />

At the outset of the trial<br />

on Monday, military prosecutor<br />

sub lieutenant Natacha<br />

Wisstt said the case<br />

involved Boyd acting in a<br />

sexually inappropriate manner<br />

towards a female subordinate.<br />

Boyd was alleged to have<br />

told her in a computer room in<br />

20<strong>15</strong>, “I so want to grab your<br />

arse right now, but I know I<br />

shouldn’t”.<br />

On September 22, 2016, they<br />

were both at a function farewelling<br />

a civilian member of the<br />

unit.<br />

After a formal dinner, they<br />

moved to the warrant officers<br />

and sergeants’ mess bar.<br />

It’s alleged that when she was<br />

playing pool, Boyd approached<br />

her and squeezed her breast for<br />

few seconds, made eye contact,<br />

and then went away.<br />

A second allegation came on<br />

December 5, 2018 at another<br />

NEWS 5<br />

guilty of indecent assault<br />

function in the same officers’<br />

mess.<br />

She was standing at a table<br />

when Boyd is alleged<br />

to have approached her<br />

with a drink he bought<br />

her.<br />

He is said to have<br />

congratulated her on a<br />

recent promotion.<br />

<strong>The</strong>y consumed the<br />

drink and Boyd allegedly<br />

told her: “This is<br />

my last chance to get<br />

you wasted, corporals<br />

are my cut off”.<br />

Wisstt said it’s alleged that Boyd<br />

used “force” towards the victim.<br />

Boyd’s lawyer Elizabeth Bulger<br />

said he denied all charges, saying<br />

there was no assault, indecent or<br />

otherwise.<br />

Boyd says the allegation of indecent<br />

assault was a “fabrication,<br />

for reasons best known to the<br />

complainant”.<br />

Referring to the 2018<br />

allegation, he says she had<br />

“at best misinterpreted” his<br />

comments, or even deliberately<br />

misinterpreted the conversation<br />

to make it sound sleazy and<br />

crass. He had merely been trying<br />

to offer career advice to a junior<br />

subordinate, Bulger says. – NZ<br />
