Reuters: U.S. Naval Academy ex-athlete arraigned in sex assault case
Reuters reports:
One of two former U.S. Naval Academy football players charged with sexually assaulting an intoxicated female midshipman was arraigned on Wednesday and will plead not guilty, his attorney said.
The accused, Eric Graham, 22, faces a court-martial charge of abusive sexual contact in the case, one of a spate of sexual misconduct allegations involving the world’s most powerful military.
“He will be pleading not guilty to all criminal charges,” his lawyer, Chip Herrington, told Reuters after the hearing at Washington’s Navy Yard. He earlier said Graham had pleaded not guilty.
