Alleged Jedi Council man to 'clear name'

AN alleged member of the Australian Defence Force's "knights of the Jedi Council" looks forward to clearing his name, his lawyer says.

Hastings Frederickson, 40, was charged on Monday at Queanbeyan in NSW with six counts of using a carriage service to cause offence.

The former army member is allegedly involved in a group of officers who exchanged degrading emails involving up to 10 female victims.

The group reportedly called themselves the "Jedi Council".

Frederickson was granted conditional bail on Monday to appear in Downing Centre Local Court on December 17.

Outside court lawyer Peter Woodhouse told reporters Frederickson looked forward to clearing his name.

"He looks forward to these matters being determined by a court where he will meet the charges and clear his name," he said.

As journalists followed Frederickson down the street, he told a Seven Network reporter while he respected the media's right to report on the case, it would be dealt with in the court of law.

Recently the ADF discharged six soldiers alleged to be at the centre of the Jedi Council ring.

They are alleged to have produced and distributed offensive material and imagery including filmed sex acts, dating back to 2010.

The ADF is still reviewing the allegations as part of a major investigation.

A cadet involved in the ADFA Skype scandal was also discharged recently and sailors allegedly responsible for misconduct aboard HMAS Ballarat were removed from the vessel and returned to Australia.

Dozens of other mostly serving army members are still being investigated.
