Leave the he said, she said alone for a minute.
Here's something that sent off alarms to me regarding this incident.
Not a lawyer, but couldn't they subpoena these pages?
I believe her more than FB players, because I don't think they would go to the level of secretly recording conversations without some form of foundation.
Not a lawyer, so no bashing me for ignorance in this issue.
Final question is about FB. If they are found guilty, and USNA knew it occurred, but did not suspend them, what happens to the FB team?
If the sexual assault counselor did not inform the academy, I understand they can't be held accountable, but if they did, and they informed the coach, what happens from that point?
FB is big money. Television royalties are alot. Could USNA FB pay a higher price if it comes out that they were informed and did nothing? Penalties.

Later that night, Ms. Tisdale told her friend that rumors were flying around campus that several football players had had sex with her at the party. Social media also quickly began to play a role in spreading word around campus. Ms. Tisdale said that a football player showed her a private Facebook page on which some midshipmen had posted suggestive comments that appeared to be about the episode.

With the encouragement of a sympathetic faculty member, the woman says she finally decided to speak up. In January, she told investigators from the N.C.I.S. that she was prepared to tell them everything she knew. She also hired Ms. Burke, who says she began meeting with Navy investigators as well.
In cooperating with the investigators, the victim agreed to secretly record conversations with some of the football players, including one by telephone the day before President Obama came to deliver his graduation address at the Naval Academy last Friday, she said.

The female midshipman met with a chaplain at the academy, and then an academy sexual assault counselor. The counselor told her that she had already heard about the episode from five or six people, whom the counselor did not identify, but said none had provided the woman’s name, the midshipman said.
