Above, Leonard Kiptoo Langat, pictured in a Cabarrus County, NC mugshot, is a FORMER Midshipman at the US Naval Academy, Annapolis Maryland. In December, during what the AP refers to as a "holiday break" (USNA calls it "Christmas") he engaged in incestuous rape of a minor child. Now he's not going to be an Admiral--if he ever was.

Naval Academy To Dismiss Midshipman Convicted Of Child Sex

July 27, 2018



ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Naval Academy says a midshipman is being dismissed following his sentencing to 12 to 24 years in prison for a sex crime involving a girl in North Carolina. The Capital reported Friday that Midshipman 2nd Class Leonard Kiptoo Langat is on a leave of absence pending an administrative process to separate him from the academy. Langat was away from the school on holiday break in Concord when he entered a female relative’s room and engaged in unwanted sexual activity. Concord police Capt. John Tierney says it happened in December. Langat pleaded guilty to indecent liberties with a minor in Cabarrus County Superior Court.[More]

Here are some questions you might ask, starting with "What kind of name is Leonard Kiptoo Langat?" That's the only one I know the answer to--it's Kenyan. There's a Kenyan track star named Leonard Langat, and there are also lots of Kenyans named Kiptoo.

Other questions:

Who appointed this guy? (His home town is in North Carolina's 8th Congressional District.)

What were his marks like? Did he need one of those special prep schools to qualify?

Was he an athlete?

What was his conduct like at the Academy before this happened?

Why was he at the Naval Academy at all, and are there any more guys like him there?

Those are questions I don't have answers for, but I can tell you that the Service Academies are rife with Affirmative Action, and incidents like this are a predictable result.
