Missing 14-year-old girl found in Marine barracks at Camp Pendleton

A 14-year-old girl who had run away from home was found in the barracks at Camp Pendleton, a Marine Corps base in California. A Marine was detained for questioning but has since been released while federal law enforcement officials investigate. The circumstances of how the girl and the Marine came into contact are unclear. The girl's grandmother had reported her missing, and after being found on the base, she was returned to her grandmother. The girl's aunt alleges that she was raped and sold to a soldier for sex, accusing the military of a cover-up. The case has been handed over to the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and no arrests or charges have been made yet. The sheriff's department and the San Diego Human Trafficking Task Force are assisting in the investigation.
