The military has dropped a charge related to alleged sexual misconduct against Lt.-Gen. Steve Whelan, who was removed from his job as head of military personnel in 2021 after the allegations were made.

The court martial for Whelan began Monday morning in Gatineau, Que., where he was initially facing two charges of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline.
