VICTORIA (NEWS1130) – A rare court martial is expected to begin today at CFB Esquimalt near Victoria as a cadet instructor is charged with sexual exploitation, sexual interference and sexual assault.

The charges against Captain Daniel Moriarity involve two cadets — a 16-year-old girl and a boy who was 15 at the time.

Investigators believe the attacks happened between 2008 and 2011 at an army camp in the North Okanagan and at an armoury in Victoria.

Moriarity was deputy commanding officer of the more than 3,000 member army cadet corps before his arrest.
