A Marine was arrested and charged with receiving child pornography in California after returning on military orders from Afghanistan to Camp Pendleton in San Diego.
The Naval Criminal Investigative Service interviewed the marine in Afghanistan and with the orders of the camp commander, he was returned to Camp Pendleton.
According to media sources, the accused marine, age 31, appeared on January 28, 2011 for his arraignment before a U.S. Magistrate and is being held in the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
A criminal complaint was filed by the FBI which alleges that marines girlfriend, sent him “numerous” child-pornography videos that she produced between October and November 2010. She faces separate state charges including first-degree sodomy, sexual abuse and using a child in the display of sexually explicit conduct. She is being held on $5.25 million dollars bail.
