Sacked 'Jedi Council' soldiers face charges for role in internet sex ring Criminal charges have been recommended against three army members at the centre of the "Jedi Council" internet sex ring, Fairfax Media understands. The Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions recently signalled the charges with NSW Police, following an investigation which finished in July last year. It is not yet known when, or if, charges will be laid. The Chief of the Army, Lieutenant-General David Morrison, announced six of the ringleaders had been dismissed on Thursday night. The "Jedi Council" members allegedly circulated videos and photos of naked, unsuspecting women and sometimes challenged fellow members of the council to try to bed them too, Defence sources have confirmed. Demeaning commentary would often accompany the images and videos. At times details were included about the size and shape of the women's breasts and a rating of the sexual experience. Often the material was sent using Australian Defence Force email systems. There were 17 men who formed the main part of the sex ring. It is understood the women were filmed or photographed without their knowledge. Fairfax Media revealed details and the name of the "Jedi Council" in June this year after General Morrison announced three ringleaders had been stood down. It is understood many of the communications began with the words "Dear Jedi Council," and included long explanations of what had taken place. This week, General Morrison said the group included several officers, and that a further seven members could be sacked. He also said a further 172 soldiers - most of whom are army members - received at least some of the emails, though appear not to have been directly involved.
