Midshipman is guilty of assault
- Share via
A Naval Academy midshipman was found guilty of sexually assaulting a fellow student at a Washington hotel last year, a verdict that could lead to prison and his dismissal from the Annapolis, Md., military school.
After three hours of deliberation, a jury of seven Navy and Marine Corps officers convicted Kenny Ray Morrison, 24, of indecent assault for forcing himself on a female midshipman in February 2006 after a night of drinking at a nearby nightclub.
He was also found guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman.
The jury cleared him of charges that he also had sex with another midshipman against her will in April 2006.
