WASHINGTON – Lawyers on Monday questioned U.S. Naval Academy students who attended a toga party last year about how intoxicated a female midshipman appeared at the off-campus house, where she allegedly was sexually assaulted by three students on the Navy football team.
The woman has testified she had been drinking heavily before and during the April 2012 party in Annapolis, Md. She has said she has no memory of having sex with the midshipmen, but became concerned after hearing gossip shortly after the party that she had had sex with multiple people.
During a hearing to help determine whether the three men will face a court-martial, attorneys have tried to establish just how intoxicated the woman was at the alcohol-fueled party. On Monday, they focused on the recollections of midshipmen who saw her there at the crowded house.
The day’s testimony wrapped up Monday evening and a final day of testimony was expected Tuesday.
Midshipman Christa Kamon testifed the woman was slurring her words and falling down while dancing.
