Midshipman Accused of Sex Assault

Agents from the Naval Criminal Investigative Service testified that a forensics examination of Calvanico's boxer shorts showed evidence of the woman's DNA. But no sperm, semen or other DNA evidence was found in vaginal swabs, or on her shorts, sheets or blankets. Doctors did not detect any bruising, swelling or other indications of forcible intercourse, according to the testimony.

On Oct. 13, Waddington said, the students were supposed to go to a movie, but Calvanico instead spent the evening drinking with friends. It was about 3 a.m. Oct. 14 when he went to the woman's room.

"Before I rolled over, I could see them kissing," the woman's roommate testified. The contact "appeared to be consensual," she said.

Calvanico left to check on his roommate, according to testimony, and returned a short time later. Calvanico's accuser said he tried to pull her into a kiss and she pushed him away. "He was drunk and very forceful," she said.

Calvanico visited a third time, and that is when the rape occurred, the woman said. Her protests and struggling were ignored, she said. "He told me if I didn't shut up, he would do the same thing to [my roommate]," she said.

The roommate, who said she was "half awake," testified that she heard "rustling" noises and some arguing. "I didn't really think there was a problem aside from an argument over a relationship," she said.

The woman testified that after Calvanico left, she went to the room of another female midshipman who urged her to report the incident.

Lt. John Clady, the officer hearing the case, pressed for details. "You remember a lot of things, but there are some critical things you don't remember," he told her. Clady will make a recommendation to the Naval Academy superintendent, who will decide whether to proceed with a court-martial.
