Go Navy! Beat Army! Rape Victims Are Hos!

For three days, defense lawyers grilled a female midshipman who said she was raped by three Navy football players. For a total of thirty hours, they asked her questions about her sexual habits and whether or not she wore underwear that night. From the New York Times:

[D]efense lawyers repeatedly asked the midshipman about a consensual sexual encounter she said she had the next day. In some of the most widely disseminated testimony, Andrew Weinstein, a lawyer for Mr. Bush, asked the woman whether she wore a bra or other underwear to the party and whether she “felt like a ho” afterward. Lt. Cmdr. Angela Tang, a lawyer for Mr. Graham, also asked the woman repeatedly about her oral sex technique, arguing over objections from the prosecution that oral sex would indicate the “active participation” of the woman and therefore consent.

This after the midshipman was punished for underage drinking after her initial complaint, forced to attend the accused football games, and intimidated in phone message and in the mess hall. These questions are part of an internal "Article 32" hearing, in which the judge over these proceedings will report to the Naval Academy's superintendent, Vice Adm. Michael H. Miller. It will be his decision, and his alone, that will decide whether these charges should go forward or Navy will go 12-0 against Army this December the charges should be dropped.
