An Air Force Academy cadet who kissed and groped an intoxicated, apparently sleeping female cadet without consent pleaded guilty Tuesday to one count of simple assault and two counts of assault consummated by a battery.

Andrew S. Hong, who was entering his third year at the academy, was sentenced to eight months behind bars. He also will forfeit all pay and allowances and will be reprimanded and will be dismissed from the Air Force.

Hong pleaded guilty as part of a pre-trial agreement, and the other charges against him — one count of attempted abusive sexual contact and two counts of abusive sexual contact — were dismissed.
