During what would say is a “nothing new” incident, British paratroopers were caught on video with a woman from a dating website in their barracks.
In 2022, military police began investigating paratroopers of the 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment after video clips “were circulated on social media” of a civilian woman engaging in a consensual group fornication with the paratroopers in the Melville Barracks “while dozens watched.”
The video (viewable at TheSaltySoldierUncensored.com) shows the woman having relations with troops from the 16 Air Assault Brigade while dozens watched.
At the time, it was believed that the woman, a civilian, may have been smuggled into Merville Barracks in Colchester.
During the investigation, it was determined that no crime had been committed but the British Army determined the soldier’s behavior and the videos could have been used to “denigrate women.”
For this reason, they were barred from deploying to a NATO exercise in the Balkans after the videos were leaked online.
They were preparing to deploy to the Balkans for a 10-day military exercise with NATO allies but the British Army considered the troops a risk.
The head of the British Army, Gen. Sir Patrick Sanders said in a letter that he was “not prepared to risk the NATO mission or the reputation of the British Army by deploying 3 Para at this time.”
The soldiers’ unit had previously deployed to Afghanistan in 2021, during the Taliban’s offensive that culminated in the Fall of Kabul in August 2021 and the Taliban regaining control.
