DND records reveal a department in damage control as it tried to deal with the assault. Months after the assault, Adams wrote to then Chief of the Defence Staff Gen. Wayne Eyre and other senior military leaders to ask for help. She didn't receive a reply from Eyre.

Instead, DND records indicate that military and department officials were more concerned about whether other news media outlets would pick up on the initial Ottawa Citizen articles about the incident.

There was a movie made recently that I recommend. "Out Standing" by Mélanie Charbonneau about Sandra Perron, Canada's first female infantry officer. The movie is based on Perron's memoir, and depicts the horrible abuse she endured during the time she served from 1991 to 1996.
