Former Marine Recruiter Jailed for Abusing High School Girls

HeadlineMay 08, 2007

In Wisconsin, a former Marine recruiter has been sentenced to one year in jail and three years on probation after he was accused of sexually assaulting two high school girls that he met at their school during a recruiting trip. A 17-year-old girl said the marine, Donny Rage, groped her in his recruiting office and attempted to have sex with her at a party. One of the victims said, “He had a gun in his room and he was forcefully telling me what to do and forcefully telling me how to do different things. I was scared and I felt I didn’t have the right to leave the room.” Last week Rage pleaded guilty to one charge of false imprisonment. Prosecutors agreed to drop seven other charges as part of a plea deal.
