Summary at a Glance

An inquest heard how Jaysley had called another colleague in tears claiming Webber had pinned her down and tried to kiss her.

The Army report outlined three "contributory factors" to Jaysley's death - including the "significant strain" of a sexual relationship with a married colleague in the last few weeks of her life.

Jaysley's mum Leighann McCready told the court her daughter felt that Mason was "overstepping the mark of her friendliness" and was becoming a "creep".

She told the hearing that Jaysley did not want to take the matter further so "nothing would happen to him or his job as she didn't want to suffer any backlash from it".

The colleague added: "Jaysley wasn't happy with what had happened but if you are in the Army and a lower rank no-one will believe you, especially against a higher rank.
