US EditionVernon Cadet Camp Sued over Alleged Sex Assault in 2007
- On May 26, 2025, an individual known only as G.A.C., a former participant in the camp's youth program, filed a lawsuit accusing a cadet leader of sexual assault in 2007, naming both the organization behind Vernon Cadet Camp and the Canadian government as defendants.
- The claim alleges a cadet leader abused G.A.C. While exploiting his position of trust and power, within a culture allowing widespread abuse before and after 2007.
- The lawsuit states camp staff knew of and failed to stop the bullying, abuse, and assault over a considerable period, causing long-term harm to G.A.C.
- G.A.C. Seeks damages covering medical and legal expenses for injuries including PTSD, anxiety, and depression, while neither defendant has submitted a response to the claim.
- The case remains unproven in court but implies systemic failures by camp operators and the federal government in protecting youth from abuse.
