The Jamaica Defence Force, JDF, says it is investigating sexual harassment allegations, against a senior officer.

The JDF says preliminary investigations into the matter commenced as soon as the report was received.

The JDF in a statement a short while ago says it has a robust sexual harassment prevention policy, and treats with any breach as a zero tolerance, matter.

The army, adds that matters of this sensitive and personal nature, are thoroughly investigated with due regard for the privacy and protection of the complainant.

The statement says as the investigations are ongoing, further comment in the public domain by the JDF is proscribed.

It adds that the force has a track record of dealing with disciplinary breaches of any kind where persons are found culpable.
