Former Navy Football Player Acquitted of Sexual Assault 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
In another case, a former Naval Academy football player was acquitted
Thursday of sexually assaulting a classmate. Prosecutors said Joshua
Tate assaulted the victim after she got drunk and passed out at a party,
but a military judge ruled the case was not proved beyond a reasonable
doubt. At a preliminary hearing in September, the alleged victim was
grilled on topics including whether she wore a bra and underwear to the
party, how she performs oral sex, and whether she "felt like a ho" after
the alleged assault.
