The Jamaica Defence Force has confirmed that it has commenced a sexual harassment investigation against one of its senior members.
The confirmation came yesterday afternoon after information began emerging about a sex scandal.
The JDF issued a statement yesterday saying it had received reports against the senior member.
The allegations emerging suggest some 16 cases of sexual harassment involving the senior officer.
Allegations are that several complainants have made reports about rape and other sexual offences.
The JDF in its statement says it will not be commenting further on the active investigation.
The emerging scandal follows another incident last year.
In January last year, the JDF investigated reports of sexual harassment and inappropriate behaviour among its service members.
It resulted in a member tendering his resignation.
