Calm down folks. Formal charges have not been filed and will not be filed until an investigation is completed. At that time a hearing will be held and the accused charged.
Formal allegations have been filed and the accused advised of those allegations. Don't fault the Marine Corp for what they are doing. Once the allegations are formally filed the Marine Corp has no choice but to proceed as regs. require.
My opinion -- The investigation will find the allegations without merit.
A court martial can find the defendant guilty or not
guilty. If this Marine is innocent the best way to
prove it is military court procedures.
This puts the matter to rest.
