Two More Soldiers Arrested Over 'Sex Video'
Two more arrests have been made in connection with an alleged sex session between a teenager and a group of soldiers.
North Yorkshire Police have confirmed the arrests, which brings the total to six, as part of the investigation into the incident, which allegedly took place at Bourlon Barracks at Catterick Garrison on Friday evening.
Four soldiers, aged between 19 and 26, have been released on bail.
The North Yorkshire force is currently examining footage from mobile phones which is alleged to show drunken troops encouraging colleagues to engage in sex acts with the 15- year-old girl.
It has been alleged that the girl was smuggled onto the base. Police have traced her and she has been formally interviewed.
Those involved in the alleged orgy could face charges of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor.
A spokesman for the MoD said: "The Royal Military Police's Special Investigation Branch and North Yorkshire Police have launched an investigation and it would be inappropriate to comment further at this time."
