"SECRET VIDEO OF MIDS ALLEGED

Navy doctor accused of taping midshipmen having sex in his home

By Bradley Olson
Sun Reporter
May 2, 2007

A navy doctor who regularly acted as a chaperon for the Naval Academy
men's gymnastic team is being investigated by the military on
allegations that he made secret video recordings of midshipmen having
sex in his Annapolis-area home, several legal and Navy sources
familiar with the investigation said yesterday.

Cmdr. Kevin Ronan, a physician stationed at the academy until May
2006, has been accused of setting up hidden video cameras and
recording students but has not been charged with a crime, the sources
said. Ronan was a volunteer in the school's sponsor program, hosting
students on holidays and weekends.

His lawyer, William Ferris, said he had advised Ronan not to make any
statements, and a call made to the doctor's Annapolis home early last
night was not immediately returned. Ferris declined further comment.

Ed Buice, spokesman for the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, said
the agency 'is looking into allegations of misconduct by a [Naval
Academy] sponsor,' but he would not elaborate.

The investigation of Ronan is likely to conclude in a month, said Guy
Schein, spokesman for the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery in
Washington, where Ronan has been stationed since May 2006 working on
military medical policy issues. Schein declined further comment.

The investigation was triggered when a male midshipman reported
finding a video disc in Ronan's house that showed the midshipman
having sex with his girlfriend, according to multiple sources familiar
with the investigation.

Charles Gittins, a Navl Academy graduate and Virginia-based attorney
who specializes in military cases, said he was contacted by the family
of a female midshipman who said that she was videotaped in Ronan's
home without her knowledge. He declined to say what was on the tape.

'We don't have the videos,' he said. 'We believe it would have been a
situation which a resonable person would believe would be kept private
between two people.'

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service is working together on the
case with the Anne Arundel County Police Department and the two
agencies jointly searched Ronan's home for evidence, legal sources
said.

A spokesman for he county Police Department did not return a call for
comment yesterday.

Despite the involvement of local police, the military will maintain
jurisdiction, legal sources said.

Gittins said Ronan could be charged with violating a Maryland statute
forbidding unauthorized, illicit video surveillance under the Federal
Assimilative Crimes Act, which allows federal authorities to pursue
state charges on matters in which they retain jurisdiction. He said
that he was unaware of any comparable crime in the Uniform Code of
Military Justice.

Visual surveillance of a nude person without his or her consent is
illegal in Maryland. It is a misdemeanor that carries a possible one-
year jail sentence and $2,500 fine, said Kristin Riggin, spokeswoman
for the Anne Arundel County state's attorney's office.

Riggin declined to comment on the investigation but said making such
recordings is against the law 'even if it's in the camera user's own
home.'

Ronan could also be charged by the military with conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman, which could result in a year in jail and a
discharge from the Navy if convicted, Gittins said.

The Navy has been reeling in the past few years from a series a sexual
misconduct scandals, including two rape trials against former football
players, one of which resulted in a conviction for indecent assault.
In the second case, the player was acquitted of rape but found guilty
of conduct unbecoming an officer. In addition, a military professor
was court martialed for using sexually explicit language in front of a
female midshipman but was exonerated.

The allegations against Ronan were first reported yesterday in The
Capital. According to documents obtained by the Annapolis newspaper, a
midshipman on Jan. 30 found a concealed video camera in an air vent
while he was changing clothes in the guest room of Ronan's home and
reported the matter to the academy.

While stationed at the academy, Ronan was the brigade medical officer,
served on an 'eating disorders and treatment team' and was an officer
representative for the men's gymnastic team. Ronan also worked as a
team physician for Naval Academy athletics, sources said.
