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.
Plus I don’t want someone so stupid fighting for Canada or the US! If she’s that dumb in her personal life, I wonder how smart and focused she would be as a soldier girl killing the enemy.
How do you put tape in an iphone?
I’ve actually had to consciously re-interpret what they mean when they use the word. What is comical about that is that I have tons of cassette and open reel tapes and players/recorders. It’s a hobby of mine.
Maybe that’s the problem. When someone says the need to analyze the “tapes” I think, “Cool! They are into vintage stuff too!”
Check out the ink on her left arm....Yep. Guilty.
Her dignity should have been "dirt" by making a sex video, not because it was publicly disclosed. As others said, the issues is that she made a video of herself having sex, not that other people saw it.
As I understand, exposure of their private affairs is usually tougher on women. It wouldn't hurt me as much, at least because men are not emotional creatures. But somehow I managed to live all these years without having any compromising tapes published. Maybe it's because I know when it's wise to record things and when it is not? Privacy is not a law of nature, you have to do your part to get it.
“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.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She sounds like a slut and a bitch to me. If she “didn’t do anything wrong”, then why is she sorry she made this video?
A “public rape”? She owes an apology to real rape victims.
And what the hell did she do to her arm? Was she drunk or was the idiot who permanently scribbled on her arm? Likely both.
“People who know me know that I would have given anything to my regiment.”
Looks like she was already giving it away.
Her dignity should have been “dirt” by making a sex video, not because it was publicly disclosed. As others said, the issues is that she made a video of herself having sex, not that other people saw it.
Have the words, “I owe my career success to that sex tape I made” ever been uttered?
Your idiotic choices could make you an object of ridicule, ruin your career, or cause you to commit suicide if you’re weak-minded.
Whoa is you, moron.
Quit playing the “victim” card vacuous vixen. Look in the mirror, loser.
BUCK UP, STFU, become a bull-dyke, or become a whiney socialist and run for political office.
Your opportunities are endless.
Maybe she was trying to become a royal canadian Mountee
Boo-freakin-hoo, honey. Ya screws, ya lose.
And while you’re at it, get rid of a few of those excess names. i suspect your career was damaged more by the fact that it took your boss half an hour to say hello than it was by your flashing some flesh.
I seriously doubt this woman believes there is anything that is wrong.
Yeah, in light of that it's kind of hard for her to change her hairstyle and pretend to be someone else.
Found it!
I’d Mount it.
With a Canadian Club.
Have you ever heard of Paris Hilton?
