Naval Academy sex charges largely dismissed review finds
The Washington Post analysis of Navy documents shows most sexual assault charges at the Naval Academy end without trial, with only two convictions among 56 cases since 1998. Most offenders leave the academy via deals, no criminal record, and reporting increases accompany dialogue on justice for victims. A Pentagon task force noted five courts martial at West Point with three convictions, while the Naval Academy had one court-martial and conviction in the period.
