The Chief of Army, Lt. Gen. David Morrison tells reporters in Canberra three Army personnel have been stood down over a series of inappropriate emails that denigrate women.
ANOTHER five soldiers have been suspended from the Australian Army over their alleged involvement in the so-called "Jedi Council'' sex email ring.
This brings to eight the number of troops who have been suspended pending inquiries by defence and civilian police investigators into the distribution of videos of women having sex and dossiers on at least a dozen victims.
Three soldiers already suspended remain under investigation by the defence force and are the subject of a NSW Police brief to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions.
"The offences relate to allegations that a group of Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers of the Australian Army produced and distributed highly inappropriate material demeaning women, across both Defence computer systems and the public internet,'' the Army said in a statement.
It is understood that the latest group includes a Major and several members of the elite 2 Commando Regiment based at Holsworthy near Sydney.
Defence cadet probe hits brick wall
A further 90 soldiers remain under investigation by the Australian Defence Force Investigative Service in relation to the email scandal where women were filmed having sex with ringleaders who distributed the images and a dossier on the women to other members of the defence force.

Investigators have found hundreds of emails sent to more than 100 troops around the country dating back several years. They describe sexual encounters with women picked up in nightclubs around Sydney's Kings Cross.

'Humiliating' email in Defence row

The emails included explicit descriptions of the women and instructions regarding where to meet them and how to woo them for sex.
The sexual imagery was distributed on the Defence Restricted Network and the internet and investigators have been examining the case since 2010.
Up to 200 soldiers were involved and many were in the frame for not reporting the offensive material to authorities.
A furious army chief Lieutenant General David Morrison last week revealed the existence of the "Jedi Council''and vowed to eliminate such demeaning behaviour from within the ranks.
Defence said it would not release any further details.
"Questions relating to any criminal offences or charges should be referred to the NSW Police Force,'' it said.
Meanwhile investigators probing the drunken antics of Australian Defence Force Academy (ADFA) cadets have hit a brick wall over allegations of forced urine drinking, genital fondling and the hiring of a prostitute.

Numerous allegations of bizarre "hazing'' or initiation rituals have been made by cadets caught up in a Canberra "pub crawl'' by about 20 members of the academy's rugby and AFL clubs.
Seven ringleaders have been suspended while the investigation by the Australian Defence Force Investigative Service (ADFIS) is underway.
According to well-placed sources, investigators cannot substantiate many of the allegations with wildly differing accounts of timings and locations from the alleged perpetrators and whistleblowers.
According to one source, the most serious allegations include cadets being forced to drink urine, fondle other cadets' genitals, have sex with a prostitute for a bet and remove their pants when a particular song was played.
