CAMP PENDLETON — A Marine who has spoken publicly about a massacre allegedly committed by his unit in Iraq has been charged with rape, stealing government property and trying to mail guns from Iraq. Lance Cpl. Roel Ryan Briones, 22, was charged by the military last week.
He is accused of raping a nonmilitary person in the Camp Pendleton area last year and of stealing optical equipment worth about $3,820 in Iraq.
Briones' family said he suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder after following orders to photograph and help remove the bodies of 24 Iraqi men, women and children who were slain in November 2005 in Haditha.
