Soldier Punished for Interfering in Child Assault by Afghan
The New York Times ^ | 09/22/2015 | By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon and the White House condemned on Monday reports that Afghan forces who worked with U.S. military personnel sexually assaulted boys, and members of Congress complained about a U.S. soldier being forced out of the military because he intervened in 2011, attacking an Afghan police commander he believed was raping a child.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., and others are questioning whether the U.S. military routinely discouraged troops from intervening in such sexual assaults. Hunter said Army Sgt. 1st Class Charles Martland must leave the Army by Nov. 1, because his intervention to stop a child rape triggered a negative mark on his service record.

(further excerpting)

The New York Times reported that Martland and Dan Quinn, a former Special Forces captain, beat up an Afghan militia commander who was working with the Americans but also was discovered to have kept a boy chained to his bed as a sex slave.

Remember this guy in OC, CA?. IIRC, the mother of the child didn’t want the guy punished because he was a member of the little girl’s family... Horrible but I think the judge is still on the bench.
