(Scroll down for video) Three U.S. Navy officers were arrested and charged with rape related charges after they had sex with a female Navy officer who had passed out, according to a statement released by the U.S. military.
The woman alleges that she went to a party off campus in April 2012 where she became so intoxicated that she passed out, the woman’s attorney said in a statement.
"She learned from friends and from social media that three football players claimed to have had sex with her while she was incapacitated," the lawyer also said in the statement.
After reporting the incident to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, the alleged victim was disciplined for drinking, but the three men faced no consequences and the Navy closed the investigation.
Her attorney said that one of the accused men warned the alleged victim not to cooperate with the investigation prompting the academy to close the investigation in 2012, citing a lack of will of the alleged victim to cooperate.
The alleged victim came to her attorney in 2013 for help in handling the case and to try to get the Academy to reopen the investigation.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
