MONTREAL - A stolen iPhone and a sex tape that's been circulating for three years has left a young woman's military career in ruins.
Alexandra-Kim Martin-Roberge joined the Canadian Forces in May 2009, dreaming of serving in the infantry.
One of only two women in the 3rd Battalion of the Royal Canadian Regiment, the Quebecer had planned to join the combat mission in Afghanistan.
But one indiscretion destroyed her reputation, her self-esteem and her integrity in the eyes of comrades.
In 2010, while on a 12-month assignment in Alberta, a fellow soldier stole her smart phone and copied a 13-minute clip that depicted her having sex, her face clearly visible.
"He managed to take my phone during a patrol," Martin-Roberge told QMI Agency. "Ten days later I found out all the guys were swapping it. It was like an atomic bomb. For a woman in the infantry, this is the worst thing that can happen."
Other soldiers began making fun of her, even to her face.
"They said I was doing porn movies," said Martin-Roberge. "They called me a slut and a bitch. I'm so sorry that I made this video, but I didn't do anything wrong. It was stolen from me, and since then, I've suffered a public rape."
Foreign troops eventually watched the sex tape and American soldiers even asked her for her autograph. She went on leave, then rejoined the 3rd Battalion but got into an altercation with another soldier who insulted her.
Martin-Roberge now faces a court martial over the confrontation and is currently on sick leave. She has yet to obtain a full discharge and is trying to switch to a career in real estate.
Officials at CFB Valcartier near Quebec City tell QMI that they're aware of Martin-Roberge's case.
The Department of National Defence says it's taking the woman's allegations very seriously and is looking into her claims.
Meanwhile, Martin-Roberge is seeing a therapist.
"My dignity and reputation are dirt," she said. "I think everyone at Valcartier base must have (the clip)."
"People who know me know that I would have given anything to my regiment. I made an effort to be accepted as a woman in a male environment."
It's not the first time a soldier's sexual escapades have gone public.
A soldier in Kingston, Ont., was charged in 2001 following release of a video depicting a male soldier having sex with a female student.
How do you put tape in an iphone?
Yeah a sex tape ruined my career too which is really too bad because I had hoped to have a career as a porn star.
Sweet thang, you got the "Kim" already. Just change the rest to "Kardashian" and BINGO, you got yourself a career!
Whoa. Check out the ink on her left arm.
LOL!
Is it on YouTube?
There's an app for that, duh.
When I was a younger, better looking guy, had I ever done ANYTHING like that, I would have made sure all traces were destroyed, forever. Theoretically, of course.
I don’t have one, but my understanding is you can store videos on at least some iphones.
Daaaammmm! When will these women learn that allowing their de jour “boyfriend for life” videotape/ or record their intimate moments, the first thing they’ll do is share it with their best budds...
I REALLY don't need to see video of that!
You have to wonder about the world view of a woman that wants to be in the infantry killing people.
And also the morality of someone who tapes herself having sex.
Aren’t there no boundaries anymore?
(Using best “Hannibal Lector” voice)
“Love your tattoes”
C’est domage.
I’m so sorry that I made this video, but I didn’t do anything wrong.
Nope. She did something stupid. “Wrong” is a law thing. “stupid” is a cultural thing.
The former can get you a fine or prison time. The latter can ruin your life and reputation.
Be careful out there...
I’d salute it.
Laz?
