Baltimore Sun: Judge dismisses lawsuit related to Naval Academy assault
The Baltimore Sun reports:
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit brought by a Naval Academy midshipmen who sought the removal of the academy’s superintendent in a sexual assault case involving her classmates.
U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander granted the Navy’s motion to dismiss the case last week. The female midshipman who brought the lawsuit did not object.
The midshipman had argued that the superintendent, Vice Adm. Michael Miller, was biased and shouldn’t be allowed to decide whether to prosecute three midshipmen, all former football players, who were accused of sexual assault at an off-campus party in April 2012. The midshipman argued Miller is a supporter of the football team and worried about the academy’s reputation and his own career.
