Police Say Marine Recruiter Pimped Girl, 14

[Facial_King]

If guilty, this guy's pretty far from being "the few, the proud" - more like creepin' pretty close to the very bottom of humanity's barrel.

Police say Recruiter Pimped Girl, 14
June 03, 2009
Associated Press

HEMET, Calif. - Police have arrested a Marine Corps recruiter on charges of felony pimping and kidnapping and are looking into whether he used sex with a 14-year-old girl to entice potential recruits.

Staff Sgt. Bryan Damone Cunningham, 33, of San Pedro pleaded not guilty to seven felonies last Thursday after police in Orange discovered the teenage girl in a car with Cunningham and two other men. The two men, ages 18 and 19, were potential Marine recruits, police said.

The girl, who has since been returned to her parents in Hemet, told police that she met Cunningham online and had sex with all three men. She also told police Cunningham wanted her to work as a prostitute and had tried to take her to Los Angeles County against her will.

Police said they are trying to determine if Cunningham may have been using the girl to entice Marine recruits.

"It's not proven ... but when you look at it, this is a grown man, a Marine staff sergeant," said Hemet police Lt. Joe Nevarez. "Why would he be taking them out to have sex with a 14-year-old girl?"

Cunningham's attorney, Dane Levy, did not immediately return a call seeking comment Tuesday.

The two potential Marine recruits face felony charges on having sex with a minor.

Cunningham is being held on $1 million bail and has a court hearing June 18, said John Hall, a spokesman for the Riverside County district attorney's office.

Hemet is east-southeast of Los Angeles.

Your thoughts?

 

[Friday on my mind]

Recruiters have been know to go to great lengths to get names on the dotted line.

"Sign up son,this is just a taste of what the army has to offer as far as fringes gnce you get overseas we have endless supply of 14 yr olds willing to fuck for chocolate bars or cigarettes".:nanner::eek:

 

[Facetious]

The "Police say", right there there is a loss of cred !

 

[Mr. Daystar]

Man, that's just fucked up. If this guy is guilty, he needs a serious dose of prison justice. This type of thing is never acceptable, but one would expect a little higher set of standards from a career Marine.

 

[Lethal]

he's a marine so he sadly won't get prison time

This is very disturbing, obviously, and though the Armed Forces Recruiters have resorted to unsavory and questionable tactics to find enlistees....this seems absurd.

There's got to be more to this story.

Of course, this won't stop the right-wingers from telling everyone who can endure their bleating that all is well in Recruitment-Land !!

I guess it is if there are absolutely no moral or ethical limits on what tactics can be used in recruitment, or how low the recruiters set the bar in who they'll accept...

I'll keep my eyes peeled for any follow-ups, though.

What's wrong...couldn't find a Cop bashing story in time?
Your paranoid delusions are getting a bit creepy...now it's not a criminal doing something wrong, it's a Right Wing Conspiracy in Recruitmentland!:eek:
And "those who can stand their bleating"???
Not that you are reaching too far, trying to find any opening to show how evil they are...but the only "bleating" I can see are your pathetic attempts to connect every bad thing done by any cop or military to some Right Wing/GOP evil Plan that only you can clearly see.


You've got Willi shaking his head in disbelief at your obvious paranoid delusional hysteria...:rofl2:
At least you are keeping your eyes peeled for a follow-up...!:eyeso:

I think he'll go to military prison no matter what and that's not a fun place to be in.

Exactly, and he deserves a long stay in Leavenworth.

The girl, who has since been returned to her parents in Hemet, told police that she met Cunningham online and had sex with all three men. She also told police Cunningham wanted her to work as a prostitute and had tried to take her to Los Angeles County against her will.

That's exactly why 14 year olds shouldn't be using the internet.

 

[Mr. Daystar]

That's exactly why 14 year olds shouldn't be using the internet.

That's the parents fault for not monitoring her activity while on the internet.

Hmm. In all this bashing of Facial, I don't read where you actually comment on this story or whether you agree, know, or realize that the Iraq/Afghan wars have not been *popularly* received here in the U.S. and the Armed Forces have had to lower standards, offer huge signing bonuses and troll the poor neighborhoods around the South and Southwest to find recruits...:dunno:

Nobody is calling this scandal an epidemic...but I wonder what was the money incentives the military was going to pay this recruiter to fill his quotas...that might warrant a *review*...

 

[ChefChiTown]

That's the parents fault for not monitoring her activity while on the internet.

It's not her parents' fault that she got raped and prostituted out, but it's most definitely their fault for allowing their 14 year old daughter to talk to such a man on the internet. It's also their fault for allowing them to meet (not that they gave their permission - I hope - but they didn't monitor her internet activity, which ultimately lead to this situation).

 

[Skyraider22]

mna that is sad to hear I think they are both to blame true enough she is a little girl but where are the parents take time to see what your children are doing.

 

[gunslingingbird]

I'm not sure what I'm more disturbed by: the fact that he was pimping a 14-year-old girl, or the fact that he was using sex with minors to lure possible recruits into an organization that prides itself on its high standards and moral values. I hope that after he gets dishonorably discharged he spends at least 20 years in a federal prison, where I hear they take none too kindly to child molesters... :yesyes:

 

[biomech]

I hope this guy gets the full punishment he deserves, and ends up in general population, and not protective custody.
That should take care of him.
