Naval Academy admits hazing incident disputed by family
A remote midshipman was dragged from a dorm room, handcuffed to a urinal, and taunted by fellow midshipmen in a dispute officials called a good natured exchange. Gwen Marie Dreyer resigned after the December incident. The accused midshipmen received demerits and lost leave. Stepmother Carolyn Dreyer calls it assault and says it would be treated as such elsewhere. Dreyer was freed by roommates after being photographed in the urinal.
