A Chester County, Pennsylvania, court convicted a United States Military Academy<\/a> cadet on Thursday of six charges stemming from a 2016 assault, a West Point spokeswoman has confirmed to Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cadet Tyler Lampe<\/a>, 22, who has been on leave since before starting his sophomore year, was found guilty of rape of an unconscious victim, sexual assault<\/a> and four counts of aggravated indecent assault, according to Lt. Col. Chevelle Thomas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLampe continues to remain on administrative leave of absence, away from the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York,” she said in a statement. “The Academy is committed to protecting the health, welfare, and safety of all of its personnel and will take all appropriate actions in accordance with Army regulations in light of Lampe\u2019s conviction.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lampe has not yet been sentenced, but he has not attended classes since his arrest in July 2016. Thomas did not say whether the conviction would result in an expulsion from West Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, native graduated from Gettysburg High School in 2015 and went on to make the West Point football team during his freshman year, though he never appeared in a game.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
