This (Creepy) Man’s Navy: Could Eric Massa’s naughty allegations feed the Military’s anti-gay arguments? [video]
”In 1990, aboard the U.S.S. Jouett, I was awakened when a senior officer, Lt. Commander Massa, seemed to be groping me. (I was a lieutenant at the time.) I believe he may have been drinking.”

”Tom and Massa shared a stateroom together. Massa climbed up on the top of his bunk, which is hard to do–you never crawl up on somebody else’s bunk. He wakes up to Massa undoing his pants trying to snorkel him.”
Peter Clarke, a Navy shipmate of former New York Representative Eric Massa, who quit his elected position in the US House under a cloud of allegations that he sexually harassed male staffers. The little-known Democrat recently appeared on Glenn Beck‘s show to say his Navy record would exonerate his record, but in actuality, it seems to have led to more allegations. Soon after, on Larry King, he refused to say whether he was gay or not in respect of the gay community. (The Atlantic)
