A groomer in the Marine Corps who hid a 14-year-old runaway girl in his barracks at Camp Pendleton for more than two weeks has been charged with sexual assault of a minor and violating liberty restriction from a prior unrelated case, NBC News reports.
The unnamed Marine was arrested June 28th after the also-unnamed teenager was found in his barracks. The girl had been reported missing by her custodial grandmother who lives in San Diego County on June 13th, four days after she reportedly ran away.
