Senior Navy Officer Convicted of Assault
Description
A former Royal Navy officer, John Cursiter, has been convicted of sexually assaulting a junior sailor in 2022, drugging him and locking him in his quarters—leaving the victim traumatized and contemplating suicide. Cursiter, once deputy commander of a nuclear submarine, denied the charges but was found guilty and faces up to six months in prison. A second victim later came forward with allegations from 2013, which he was acquitted of—but this conviction shatters trust in a senior officer who abused his power.
