| Miss Fletcher had been in the Army for 10 years |
Lance Bombardier Kerry Fletcher, 31,
originally from Sheffield, told an employment tribunal she had been pestered for
sex by the sergeant.
Ms Fletcher, 31, claimed she was picked on because of her sexuality.
She said she was humiliated at the Army stables in North Yorkshire. She
could now receive compensation from the MoD.
Ms Fletcher, who lives in Birmingham, said the sergeant and other male
colleagues tried to destroy her career because she spurned his advances.
She said she was signed off sick with stress as a result, after serving 10 years
in the army.
The tribunal sitting in Leeds heard the sergeant had asked Ms Fletcher to join
in group sex and claimed in a text message: "Look, I might be able to convert
you."
But he told the tribunal he did not send any improper message to her and
maintained his innocence.
An army inquiry found it probable he had sent the messages and a colonel had
handed him an "expression of severe displeasure" after making the decision not
to demote him.
He also denied singling Ms Fletcher out for severe treatment because she had
rejected his advances.
