A 14-year-old California girl who was missing for 18 days was found in the barracks of San Diego's Camp Pendleton last month and a Marine was taken into custody by military police.
The San Diego County Sheriff's Department (SDSO) confirmed last week that the girl disappeared on June 9 and was reported missing on June 13 before she was found in the barracks on June 28. According to a California-based NBC News affiliate, the child's aunt told reporters that the girl — who has learning disabilities — was sold to a Marine for sex.
