CAPE MAY, N.J. — A Coast Guard petty officer has been sentenced to 13 months behind bars for sexually assaulting a former recruit in his Cape May home.

Wilson Medina pleaded guilty during a court-martial last week to assault consummated by a battery and sodomy.

Medina was assigned to Coast Guard Training Center Cape May and was one of the 23-year-old victim’s commanders during boot camp.

The victim was invited to Medina’s home to watch a boxing match about a month after graduation in 2007.

He testified that he had gotten drunk and his former commander groped him after Medina’s wife and three children went to bed. The recruit said he awoke to find Medina performing oral sex on him.

1. Good grief. How many times does this nonsense have to keep happening?

There seems to be an upswing in the number of "authority figures" attempting to victimize subordinates.

Or maybe it's just being reported more frequently.
