A former cargo ship captain pleads guilty to drugging and raping a 21-year-old U.S. Merchant Marine Academy cadet aboard a cargo ship, according to multiple reports. The cadet was on the vessel as part of the academy’s “Sea Year” training program. Prosecutors say the captain drugged the cadet and then sexually assaulted her. The guilty plea is entered in connection with the captain’s conduct while the cadet was participating in the maritime training assignment aboard the ship. The reporting from Winnipeg Free Press, The Independent, Yahoo News, and The Washington Times is consistent on the main elements of the case: the defendant is an ex-captain of a cargo ship, the victim is a U.S. Merchant Marine Academy cadet aged 21, the crimes involve drugging and rape, and the incidents occur while the cadet is working on the vessel as part of the academy’s program. The articles do not provide additional details beyond the plea and basic background on the training and the charges.
