Not long after V-M-I Regimental Commander Jerry Webb got kicked out of school last month- -the Institute privately notified Federal Judge Jackson Kiser.

(( Webb was drummed out for using his leadership position in the cadet corps to coerce three female cadets into some sexual activity.
It was just days before commencement exercises at V-M-I, Webb was stripped of his position as Honor Court Vice President and he was sent packing.
The Rockbridge Advocate reported a month ago that "Webb allegedly used his perceived powers as an assistant prosecutor to get the women to 'certify' that they would keep quiet...."
Certification is a point of honor at V-M-I, and to violate the honor code is a dismissable offense.
The newspaper indicates Institute investigators got the women to talk by waiving that "certification," convincing them they would not be disciplined.))

V-M-I Spokesman Mike Strickler says a "confidential memo" went to Judge Kiser in late May, with a copy to the U-S Justice Department, outlining the incident.

The party eventually pulled financial support from the campaign.
