Naval Academy charges QB Owens with rape
ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Navy quarterback Lamar Owens has been charged with raping a female midshipman last month in her dormitory room, the academy announced Wednesday.
"These charges are accusations, and Midshipman Owens is presumed innocent until proven otherwise," academy spokesman Cmdr. Rod Gibbons said.
Since the alleged incident occurred on academy grounds, Owens was charged under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, and the investigation is being handled by the Naval Criminal Investigation Service, Gibbons said.
The academy did not release the name of the woman. Gibbons said the academy was offering her support and counseling.
Owens, a 22-year-old senior from Savannah, Ga., would not be available to comment, Gibbons said.

I wonder if this story line will end up on the NCIS tv show one day...

Knowing football players, the chances of him actually being innocent are slim to none.

It is always so sad to see disgrace brought upon our sister service academies.

While I'm not a subscriber to the "Athletics builds character" cliche, I'm not sure I'd go that far.
I will say, and this is only perception -- not fact, that the service academy players I've met are by and large brighter and less egocentric than most from the "football factories."
Now, on the other hand, there have been some pretty serious charges of rapes being overlooked within the academies and some pretty senior officers have lost their jobs, and their careers because of it, so hopefully, the investigation will be thorough and complete.
This is a real "hot button" at the "Trade Schools" at the moment. I think it's good that the NCIS will be doing the investigation instead of something internal at the school.
I mean, heck, Mark Harmon takes no prisoners. Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Exactly - innocent until proven guilty, and all that. Plus, it appears that if the incident took place in Bankroft Hall, he may be expelled anyway.

Before long we'll probably see this as an episode of NCIS on TV.

Maybe they'll at least wait until this case is decided.

Lovely Pam Dawber from Detroit.
I used to drive by the house in Boulder that they used for the exterior shots.
Mark's sister Kelly is also one of the world's most beautiful women.
Their dad was a famous sportscaster.
Ah, the Michiganders strike again.

Gosh, that's not stereotyping, is it? Just checking.
I am the widow of a man who played football. It's how he was able to get a college education. He was a good husband and a terrific father.
