The Canadian Press, 20 Aug, 2015 11:58 AM

EDMONTON — A court appearance has been put over for a high-ranking military officer on sex charges.

A lawyer appeared on behalf of Lt.-Col. Mason Stalker in Edmonton provincial court Thursday on 10 charges, including sexual assault.

Stalker's next court date was set for Aug. 26.

The commander of the 1st Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry in Edmonton has been suspended from his job pending the outcome of his court case.

The 41-year-old was arrested last month following an investigation into alleged encounters involving a military cadet between 1998 and 2007 in Edmonton.
