The Marine, charged with assaulting the 14 year old girl, was in court Thursday for his preliminary hearing. No decision regarding whether he should face court martial was made, and likely won't come until after the end of next week
A Camp Pendleton Marine accused of having sex with a missing 14-year-old girl found in his barracks believed she was in her early 20s, his defense attorneys argued Thursday.
The prosecution did not give a closing argument during the hearing, opting to instead handle it all in writing. However, a defense attorney for the Marine did make an oral presentation in the small courtroom, with several news reporters present. The Marine is charged with three counts of sexual assault and two charges of violating liberty restrictions — leaving base without permission — according to charges base officials released Tuesday. The charges indicate the alleged crimes or violations happened June 27.
