Summary at a Glance

Lance Bombardier Kirsty Davies, who was best friends with Gnr Beck, today told the hearing that the teenager accepted an apology letter from BSM Webber because she 'didn't want to take matters any further.

LBdr Davies said she was aware that Gnr Davies reported BSM Webber and received an apology letter from him.

LBdr Davies stated that BSM Webber had allegedly 'forced himself' onto Gnr Beck and it had happened 'more than once', the inquest heard.

In a text message sent to LBdr Davies, Gnr Beck said the sergeant was 'grabbing the back of my neck for a kiss'.

"[Gnr Beck] didn't want to be seen as the wrongdoer," LBdr Davies said in an earlier statement.
