Three Naval Academy football players are under investigation for sexually assaulting a female Navy midshipman, officials confirmed on Thursday to Military.com.

NBC News confirmed that the assault was alleged to take place in the back of a car, when the four had been drinking. One alleged assailant was reportedly her boyfriend, a senior at the academy who began the assault, followed by the two others who are juniors at the Naval Academy.

The assault allegedly took place a year ago when the woman originally reported it, but then four months later she said she wanted to drop the case. In February, she decided to continue with the case and the investigation is ongoing.

The report of this assault going public comes less than a week after President Barack Obama spoke at the Naval Academy graduation and told graduates that sexual assault has “no place in the greatest military on Earth.”
