Marine recruiters face sex charges in Ukiah cases

[Sequoia]

UKIAH - Two Marine Corps recruiters accused of having sex with applicants at their Ukiah office early this year are facing courts-martial on charges of recruiter and sexual misconduct.

Staff Sgt. Joseph Dunzweiler, 24, and Sgt. Brian Fukushima, 25, each face 11 counts of violating the military's code of conduct, Marine Maj. Michael Samarov said Tuesday.

"If these charges are proven to be true, these Marines' behavior is troubling and very disappointing," he said.

The teenager, who spoke Tuesday on condition of anonymity, said she approached the Ukiah recruiters in October because she wanted to join the Marines. She said Dunzweiler told her sex was required for acceptance into the Marines. She said she also liked Dunzweiler and hoped for a relationship.

"He told me if I wanted to be a Marine, I had to have sex with him," she said Tuesday during an interview at Vogel's office.
