If we compare problems on a “per capita” basis - USNA is probably way low compared to other colleges and universities. Also, the Air Force Academy probably gets a higher rate of sex-related scandals than USNA.
Although I am in Washington State - I follow USNA activities quite closely, since I am a Blue Gold Officer for USNA, and have a son who is a Firstie there. There is definitely a “zero-tolerance” for sexual misconduct - and the campus is probably much safer than other campuses. (The worst misconduct usually occurs when too much drinking occurs, followed by an inability to say No! And the Academy has also toughened up the rules on alcohol consumption!!)
And this problem (sex tapes) has been listed about 3 weeks ago in other venues. Given some preliminary information, I would hold my fire on this one until there is clear proof of either improper conduct by the Commander - or proof of attempted blackmail and improper conduct by a former Mid. I think it could go either way at this time. (Which is why the Navy is keeping fairly quiet. No “Nifongs” here!!)
