In a case that continues to embarrass both the Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) and Naval Special Warfare Command (NSWC), military prosecutors are seeking to add rape charges in the plethora of indictments that have pilled up against a Marine Raider and Navy SEAL accused of murdering a Green Beret.
More specifically, Gunnery Sergeant Mario Madera-Rodriguez and Special Warfare Operator 1
st Class Anthony DeDolph are suspected of seeking to sexually harass Staff Sergeant Logan Melgar during the assault that left the Special Forces operator dead in Bamako, Mali in 2017. The idea behind their sexual assault was to embarrass Staff Sgt Melgar beyond all measure – they intended to record the incident on tape after they had beat the Green Beret unconscious.
