Women Claiming Rape Sue Marines, Recruiters
Two women who claimed a pair of former U.S. Marine Corps sergeants raped them in a Ukiah recruiting office sued the military Wednesday for failing to properly train and supervise recruiters.
Joseph Dunzweiler, 25, and Brian Fukushima, 26, were demoted after court-martial proceedings but acquitted of the most serious charges they faced. They have been discharged from the military.
The suit against the recruiters, the Navy and the Marine Corps, which is under Navy jurisdiction, seeks unspecified damages and an injunction requiring the military to train and supervise recruiters.
