Four former female recruits allege sexual assault and harassment at UK Army Foundation College, including rape, raising concerns about safety and culture. The alleged incidents occurred while the women were minors over the past five years. North Yorkshire Police received 16 sexual offence reports linked to the college in the year to June; ministry data shows 176 complaints of inappropriate sexual behaviour since 2018. The college is the Army's largest training establishment for under-19s, with 889 junior soldiers including 70 women. Several instructors have been convicted of sexual offences, and a Labour MP has called for an independent inquiry.
