Horne, who serves with the 4th Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, known as The Highlanders, was charged with one count of rape on 23 October, the BBC reported.
The Defence Serious Crime Command was informed of the alleged rape on 17 October. Horne was arrested two days later, following an investigation by the command’s major crime team.
An Army spokesperson confirmed the charge and said it would be inappropriate to comment further on ongoing legal proceedings. The spokesperson added that anyone convicted of a sexual offence would be discharged from the service.
