`Sick idea' to film cadet sex so mates could watch

When Australian Defence Force Academy cadet Daniel McDonald struck up an arrangement to have casual sex with a fellow student, his friend Dylan De Blaquiere had the "sick idea" to encourage him to film it, court documents have alleged.
New details of the "so-called" ADFA Skype scandal emerged yesterday as Mr McDonald, 19, and Mr De Blaquiere, 18, were arrested and charged over the incident, which has sparked six separate inquiries to date.
The two young men yesterday appeared before the ACT Magistrates Court. They each face a charge of using a carriage service to cause offence, while Mr McDonald faces an additional charge of committing an act of indecency.
Despite the criminal proceedings, it was revealed in court that the young men are still permitted to attend classes at ADFA.
While Defence Minister Stephen Smith would not comment on the case last night, his spokeswoman said the way ADFA had handled the matter, including allowing the men to continue to attend class, "is subject to review".
But police allege that, prior to having sex with the woman, Mr De Blaquiere sent Mr McDonald a text message saying: "I just had a f**ckin sick idea pop into my head, f*ck her n film it."In documents tendered to the court, police allege Mr McDonald had arranged to be "friends with benefits" with a fellow 18-year-old female cadet, where they would have casual sex on the proviso that no one found out about it.
Police allege in their statement of facts that Mr McDonald told a friend on Facebook chat: "im about to root a girl n have webcam set up to the boys in another room".
Mr McDonald allegedly then told his friend that the girl was unaware she was going to be filmed having sex later that night.
But in a later interview on April 11 with a defence legal officer, Mr McDonald said he had told the girl she would be filmed while having sex and that she had replied "cool" or "good", the court documents claim.
Mr Mr Donald also allegedly told the defence legal officer the woman had waved to the Skype-enabled camera and "was just playing to her audience".
According to the tendered documents, Mr McDonald and Mr De Blaquiere established a Skype webcam connection through their computers, and five other male cadets allegedly watched on.
The police statement claims Mr McDonald did not expect so many men to be watching the act and became "unhappy about the crowd".
But Mr McDonald allegedly told a friend that he had made gestures "for the boys" toward the webcam while engaging in the 15-minute sexual tryst.
Neither cadet was required to enter a plea yesterday.
The two men were granted bail under strict conditions after their lawyer tried unsuccessfully to have proceedings heard in camera, citing "national security" grounds.
Mr McDonald was ordered not to approach the female cadet or have any contact with her.
The pair were driven from the courthouse, covering their eyes while sitting in the back of a black Land Rover Discovery.
The case has been adjourned to May 20.
