LeRAY, N.Y. (December 1, 2002 4:49 p.m. EST) - A sixth soldier stationed at Fort Drum has been charged in the gang rape of a 16-year-old girl at a party.
Ricardo A. Miranda, 21, was charged Friday with third-degree sodomy and endangering the welfare of a child. He was released on $500 bail.
Police said the girl was raped Aug. 25 at the home of a soldier while under the influence of alcohol.
Miranda, whose rank was not available, was away on leave when five other men were charged last week. Military police met him at Hancock Airport in Syracuse and he was turned over to state police.
Also charged were Sgt. Kenneth C. Crull, 21; Pfc. Beau D. Hawkins, 24; Pfc. Eric A. O'Bryant, 23; Pfc. Robert J. Isaacs, 29; and Pvt. Scott R. McDonald, 22. They face various combinations of charges including rape, sodomy and tampering with evidence, for allegedly trying to dispose of the girl's clothing.
A phone listing for Miranda could not be found Sunday, and a call to Fort Drum was not immediately returned.
After charges against the other five men were announced, the base released a statement saying: "This type of behavior goes against all our Army values and is not indicative of the great Fort Drum soldiers defending our nation."
Fort Drum is home to the Army's 10,000-member 10th Mountain Division, the military's most deployed unit over the past decade.

What else would he say....gang rape is Marine values. Referring to the Marine rapists on station in Japan. |
