Military Sex Ringleader Pleads Guilty

A former army commando and alleged kingpin of a military sex ring has pleaded guilty to distributing videos and photos of women sexually involved with his group men.

Hastings Fredrickson was the ring leader of “Knights of the Jedi Council,” a group of up to 17 military men accused of circulating “videos and photos of naked, unsuspecting women,” who have had sex with them. Fredrickson was sacked from the army along with 181 others from the Australian military following the disclosure of sexual abuse incidents.

The charges against Fredrickson included sending of six emails in 2010 to members of his sex ring depicting sex with unsuspecting women. The emails had images of a woman he bedded. The entire sexual intercourse was filmed without the victim’s knowledge and shared.

He even pleaded guilty to “using a carriage service to cause offence.” At least, three emails were objectively offensive, he admitted.

The men who formed the military sex ring shot and shared “videos and photos of naked, unsuspecting women boasting their sexual exploits and sometimes challenged fellow members of the council to try to bed them too.” Fredrickson and six others soldiers were sacked and charged after the Jedi Council scandal was discovered last year.
