Naval Academy sexual assault case enters Day 2

Published March 19, 2014 12:00am ET



A woman at the center of a sexual assault case involving a former U.S. Naval Academy football player was expected to take the stand for a second day Wednesday at the man’s court-martial, a day after she testified he had told her they had sex, though she doesn’t remember it after a night of drinking.

The woman testified Tuesday that Joshua Tate, a classmate of hers at the Naval Academy, “kind of laughed” when she asked him if they had sex at a party and said: “What? You don’t remember?” The woman testified for more than three hours Tuesday on the opening day of Tate’s trial. The Associated Press generally doesn’t name alleged victims of sexual assault.
