No. It's a goat.

Hopefully this charge will prove false. What a mess.

"These charges are accusations, and Midshipman Owens is presumed innocent until proven otherwise,"

Bull.

He's already been pre-tried, pre-judged, and his career is stillborn.

It's not the evidence, it's the seriousness of the charge.

"These charges are accusations, and Midshipman Owens is presumed innocent until proven otherwise," academy spokesman Cmdr. Rod Gibbons said.

The Navy must have changed since I got out 11 years ago. Back then, the mere accusation would ruin a career, no proof needed. The burden of proof was on the accused. I've seen many good men ruined by some low ranking girlie that didn't want to do 'degrading' work (swab a deck, field day a space, etc.) and claim they sexually harassed them.

If this guy is guilty, he should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the UCMJ.

a female midshipmen last month in her dormitory room

Oh for Pete's sake. In her dormitory room? Yeah, yeah. And no always means no.

And by the way, we know his name. We don't know her name. If he is not convicted, we still know his name, and we don't know her name. Point: young men next to young other humans, especially female, provokes young dormitory activities. When it's your tax dollars at work paying for this situation, well.....

. . . the investigation is being handled by the Naval Criminal Investigation Service, Gibbons said.

Lamar Owens, quarterback of Navy's 2005 football squad, has been charged with raping a female midshipmen

I heard they took seaman samples.

It's just an Army plot so that Army can actually have a chance against Navy.

Bull. He's been charged under the UCMJ. There is no presumption of innocence under the UCMJ.
