WASHINGTON — A female midshipman at the Naval Academy testified Tuesday that a fellow midshipman raped her in her dorm room after he had been drinking.

Midshipman 3rd Class Mark Calvanico is accused of rape, making a false statement to investigators, conduct unbecoming an officer and unauthorized absence.

The woman, who is in her second year at the academy, testified at an Article 32 hearing at the Washington Navy Yard. The hearing is being held to determine whether Calvanico should stand trial.

The woman said Calvanico, whom she described as an acquaintance, forced himself on her in October after making a third visit to her dorm room after midnight. She testified that she told Calvanico to leave her alone, but he wouldn’t listen.

“He was drunk, and he was very forceful,” she said.
