West Point officials said Friday that Cadet Jacob Whisenhunt, 20, of Maxwell, Nebraska, was sentenced to 21 years confinement and dismissal from the U.S. Army.

He was found guilty by a panel of six members of West Point’s faculty and staff after a court-martial that began Monday.

The Times Herald-Record of Middletown reports that his accuser testified the assault happened after a day of field training last summer at Camp Buckner on West Point’s grounds 50 miles north of New York City.
