Court Martial Attorney – San Diego Marine faces court-martial in rape case
(AP) – Aug 19, 2009
SAN DIEGO — A Marine Corps captain will face a court-martial in February in a rape case involving three University of San Diego students.
A judge set the date Wednesday for Capt. Douglas S. Wacker, who was charged with 11 criminal counts including rape, attempted rape and conduct unbecoming an officer.
The alleged crimes took place during a spring break trip to New Orleans in April 2007. The 30-year-old Wacker was on unpaid leave from the military to work on a law degree at the time.
Wacker’s attorney, Haytham Faraj, called the defendant a “good guy” and has said the alleged rapes were consensual acts.
Faraj said a USD administrative board is withholding Wacker’s law degree pending the Feb. 8 court-martial, but has cleared him of misconduct.
