Two army cadets have been cleared of battery relating to an incident in which they allegedly waterboarded a colleague at Sandhurst. Officer cadets Jonathan Cox, 25, and Edward Wright, 24, denied assaulting Edward Flower at the royal military academy. Wright told officers that Flower threw some dressings back at them before they “got him on the floor”, Allen said. He concluded that by not saying anything, Mr Flower was consenting to what was being done to him. “Mr Cox thought the incident was just friends being friends.”Flower made a statement of complaint about the incident on 8 August.
