Jason Hedberg

Jason Hedberg is a former midshipman of the U.S. Naval Academy who became embroiled in a significant cheating scandal that occurred in 1994. He was one of nearly 50 midshipmen who sued the Naval Academy, the Navy, and the Pentagon, alleging that they were denied due process and compelled to make incriminating statements during an investigation. Hedberg's name was included in the commencement program for his graduating class, indicating he was cleared to participate in the ceremony, unlike his wife, Rep. Mikie Sherrill, who was barred from walking due to her involvement in the scandal.
