<p>Navy to Court - Martial QB in Rape Case
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS</p>
<p>ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) – The Navy quarterback accused of raping a female midshipman will face a court martial, the academy announced Friday.</p>
<p>The U.S. Naval Academy superintendent made the decision after the military equivalent of a grand jury investigation was held for Lamar Owens, 22, last month.</p>
<p>He is accused of raping a 20-year-old midshipman in the academy’s 4,000-student dorm. If convicted, he could get life in prison, though that punishment is considered unlikely.</p>
<p>The Savannah, Ga., native led Navy’s football team to an 8-4 record this season and was the team’s most valuable player.</p>
