WASHINGTON, D.C. – Last week, in a Washington Navy Yard courtroom, Judge Capt. Aaron Rugh sentenced U.S. Naval Academy Midshipman Nixon Keago, 25, to 25 years in federal prison. The sentencing was the final action taken in a weeks-long court-martial process.
In July, Keago was found guilty of sexual assault, attempted sexual assault, obstruction of justice and burglary. He assaulted three female midshipmen in four separate attacks, between February 2018 and September 2018.
One attack took place at the U.S. Naval Academy, when Keago broke into a victim’s room and sexually assaulted her while she was asleep. He also attacked two other female midshipmen during Fleet Week in New York City, according to court documents.
The sentencing was a disappointment to prosecutors who asked that Neago be given 40 years behind bars.
