Two senior Army officers have been cleared by a court martial of failing to deal properly with allegations made by a young soldier who took her own life a few months later.
Gunner Jaysley Beck, 19, died in December 2021, a board of three senior military officers heard.
Colonel Samantha Shepherd and Major James Hook were on trial at the Military Court Centre at Catterick Garrison, in North Yorkshire.
Both officers were accused of "conduct prejudicial to good order and service discipline".
On Tuesday, prosecutors said both senior officers "let down" Gunner Beck when she told them about an incident on a Royal Artillery adventure training exercise on Thorney Island, in Chichester Harbour, in July 2021.
Gunner Beck informed both officers about Warrant Officer Michael Webber's behaviour towards her at a social event during the exercise, the court martial board heard.
Prosecutors said the young soldier "told each of them enough" to understand she may have been sexually assaulted.
On Wednesday, Assistant Judge Advocate General Edward Legard told the board: "The Crown has concluded that there is insufficient evidence upon which you can safely convict Colonel Shepherd of the charge she faces."

The board, which is made up of an air commodore, a Royal Navy captain and an Army colonel, formally returned a not guilty verdict, on the directions of the judge, and Col Shepherd left the court.
The court martial heard how Gunner Beck told Col Shepherd what happened with Warrant Officer Webber and the senior officer then went to see Captain Mae King - an officer whose role it was to advise on disciplinary matters in the Royal Artillery.
The allegation against Col Shepherd was that she deliberately failed to mention to Captain King that the teenager had alleged the warrant officer had touched her, or tried to touch her.
