Married sergeant major who ‘pinned down and tried to kiss’ soldier, 19, who then killed herself should have had to do more than write her an apology letter, inquest hears

A senior officer accused of pinning down and attempting to kiss a teenage soldier should have been penalised more than having to just write a letter of apology, an inquest has heard.

Battery Sergeant Major Michael Webber had to apologise to Gunner Jaysley Beck, 19, after allegedly grabbing her leg and trying to kiss her.
