Southern California Marine Charged with Sex Assault of Girl, 14, Who Was Found in Barracks
SAN DIEGO – A Marine at California's Camp Pendleton has been charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl who was found in a base barracks, the military announced Friday.
Military prosecutors charged the Marine with sexual assault of a minor and with violating liberty restriction from an earlier, unrelated case. After a preliminary hearing scheduled for Aug. 17, authorities will decide whether he will face a court-martial, said a statement from Capt. Charles Palmer with the 1st Marine Logistics Group.
The Marine's identity and other details of the case, such as when and how he met the teenager and how she got onto the base, weren't immediately released.
