This first site is an actual case from Camp Pendleton. The Marine that is convicted did way less in terms of violations of the UCMJ and sexual assault and was jailed and discharged. The Marine in this case made the sound “MMM, MMM, MMM” and that was considered indecent language. The Marine that sexually assaulted and raped our friend was not disciplined or reprimanded … but was promoted.
