The trial is underway at Camp Lejeune for a Marine colonel who is accused of sexually abusing at least three children, sexually assaulting a woman and other offenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Col. Daniel H. Wilson is charged with rape of a child, sexual abuse of a child, assault consummated by battery upon a child under 16 years, sexual assault, assault consummated by battery, conduct unbecoming an officer and gentleman and being absent without leave, according to a redacted copy of charge sheet released by II Marine Expeditionary Force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wilson, the former II MEF operations officer, is accused of abusing three children, Marine Corps Times has learned. He was initially charged in November and released but then he was sent to the brig at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, in January after a Naval Criminal Investigation Service probe uncovered new allegations of misconduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
