Military prosecutors have charged a Marine with sexual assault of a minor after a 14-year-old girl was found inside Camp Pendleton barracks.
More than 40 days after an underage girl was found at Camp Pendleton barracks, an aunt says her family is frustrated with the investigation.Officials said the Marine’s identity would not be released unless the case was referred to a court-martial after the preliminary hearing.
Casaundra Perez, the girl’s aunt, alleged in a previous interview with The Times that her niece was raped on the base, and has criticized how military officials handled the case. In a statement Friday, Perez said she and her family were hoping for full accountability and transparency in the case. “If the defense tries to settle, the family will not accept the [Marine’s] plea deal unless he takes a maximum sentence, is dishonorably discharged and registers as a sex offender,” she said.Perez said she also wanted military officials to address what she said was mishandling of the case., Perez said military police questioned her underage niece without a guardian present and before notifying her guardian that she had been found.
She said investigators suggested her niece had been communicating with the Marine and alleged he was her boyfriend, which she has said is false.
