Avery L. Rosario left her confinement after reaching an agreement with the military prosecutor's office, after "exculpatory evidence" about the teenager's age was discovered.
He pleaded guilty to another charge of breach of restriction for leaving the base in a private car in June 2023, the Marine Corps said in a statement on Tuesday. On Tuesday, a special court martial sentenced him to time served, as well as reduction in rank, loss of pay and administrative separation. The latter means that he will leave the force in the summer as a discharged Marine, but not for a dishonorable discharge. He has already served more than double the maximum one-month confinement provided as punishment for these cases. He was arrested after the 14-year-old San Diego County teen was found June 28 in her base barracks, which is in the northern end of the county. According to authorities, the girl's grandmother had reported her missing on June 13, after she ran away and was away for four days.
