Marine Arrested for Sexual Assault of Missing Teen Found in Barracks

A Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton in California has been charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl who had been missing for over two weeks when she was found in his barracks. The Marine is also facing charges of violating liberty restriction from an unrelated case. The military has not disclosed the Marine's identity or provided details on how the teenager got onto the base. The accused Marine will face a preliminary hearing on August 17 to determine if he will face a court-martial. This incident comes just months after another Marine recruiter was charged with grooming and raping a 16-year-old girl.
