(when we hear that things are getting better on the sexual assault front--think of this (oh, and brock turner, who wants his conviction overturned.

FUCK the athletes who get off!!

HOW much is it costing the taxpayers to keep this man at west point, and, more importantly to them, on the playing field??)

HONOR CODE?


Cadet Run Out of West Point After Accusing Army’s Star Quarterback of Rape


He was cleared by the school and the Army—and became captain of the football team. She says she was shamed by fellow cadets and disrespected by the academy’s leaders.

interesting how this article omits any mention of the charges above

Madeline Lewis was born to go to West Point. She says her parents brought her home from the hospital wearing a onesie with “West Point” emblazoned across the chest. For several Halloweens in a row, she dressed up as a West Point Cheerleader. A picture of her in costume sits on her grandmother’s desk. “West Point was just something I grew up with,” Lewis says. Lewis was a legacy cadet, the granddaughter of 1965 West Point grad Dennis Lewis Sr., who played for the practice football team, and was awarded the Bronze star with valor for his later service in Vietnam leading Army infantrymen.

. . . .
Three weeks into the 2014 school year, Lewis, who was still on crutches and needed surgery, says she met Ahmad Ali Bradshaw, a West Point quarterback who was best friends with her roommate. One night, as Lewis later told West Point investigators, she came back to her room after a shower. Bradshaw was there and, she claimed, he raped her.

. . . .

West Point launched an investigation into her claims, a school report obtained by The Daily Beast shows. Despite Bradshaw’s denial of sex, West Point’s internal investigation led by Maj. Damon M. Torres concluded that a sexual relationship between the cadets had indeed occurred, but Torres called it consensual. It is unclear from the documents how Torres arrived at that conclusion, and West Point declined to share specifics, citing privacy for both parties. Nevertheless, Bradshaw was charged with a violation of Article 1 of the Cadet Disciplinary Code for improper use of government facilities by way of “sexual activity, which includes, but is not limited to: kissing, hand holding, and fondling,” according to West Point regulations.

. . . .
Meanwhile, Bradshaw became West Point’s star quarterback. He scored the game-winning touchdown against Navy last year, breaking Army’s 14-game losing streak to its arch-rival. But perhaps Bradshaw shouldn’t have been playing at all. According to a document provided by the Army source, Bradshaw has been the subject of numerous negative conduct reports besides the one involving Lewis—even violating West Point’s famed honor code for cheating in 2016, which should have seen him benched for the 2016 fall season but did not.

2. West Point is in New York....you mean Gillibrand isn't on this?

[niyad]

3. haven't heard that she is.

4. No matter the organization, they always close ranks

Anybody remember the Tailhook Convention, where US Navy personnel were accused of assaulting women at a hotel? In Canada, the RCMP have been sexually assaulting female members for decades. There's been very little justice, and unfortunately a lot of the women leave a job they love. Where bg money is involved, very little (if any) changes are made.
University football is controlled by the NCAA, who are spineless.

5. oh, I remember tailhook. I was there with a friend, left before the ugliness started.

and I remember those bastard pilots, boasting that they would refuse to answer investigators. and then, oh. . . . . the terrible punishment-- transferred to the admiral's staff instead of flight duty. oh, the horror!!

I had asked why they were not punished for refusing to cooperate with the investigation, and why their boasting, in print in some cases, was not even dealt with.

6. And there's been stories about the USAF

Female cadets were being assaulted by their male counterparts. There's all talk, but nothing significant happens to these rapists. All institutions run by men are like this, the world over.

7. sadly, what makes print about the AFA is barely the tip of the iceberg. between the

sexual assaults, and the takeover by the reiching xian fundies, the place is a cesspool.

and we pay for it.
