Gunner Beck claimed WO1 Webber told her he had been “waiting for a moment for them to be alone”, had engaged her in a drinking game called Last Man Standing before grabbing her leg and trying to kiss her.
Following the incident, WO1 Webber received a minor administrative action and wrote a letter of apology to Gunner Beck, which was hand-delivered to her by her senior line manager, Major Richard Lupton.
Another witness, Major Robert Ronz, investigated the incident but said he had not been aware that Gunner Beck alleged WO1 Webber had touched her leg.
Maj Ronz said that at the beginning of his investigation, he had been informed WO1 Webber had admitted attempting to kiss Gunner Beck and “showed remorse and shame over the incident”.
Maj Lupton described Gunner Beck as “the epitome of who you would want in the Army”, and confirmed he handed her the letter written by WO1 Webber.
