Abuse continued in Army after Beck's death, friend says
Abuse continued in Army after Beck's death, friend says

A friend of Jaysley Beck has said sexual abuse in the Army is still going on years after the former Royal Artillery gunner's death.

The body of the 19-year-old was found in a locker room at Wiltshire's Larkhill Camp in 2021.

She had been subjected to relentless harassment from her line manager, Bombardier Ryan Mason, an inquest was told.

Beck had also filed a complaint against Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber who "pinned her down" and tried to kiss her at a work social.

Former soldier Tamzin Hort compared being a woman in the Army to being "a piece of meat in a tank of sharks" and that "people get sexually assaulted left, right and centre, but nothing's done about it".
