COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — A military investigation has determined that a soldier had inappropriate relationships with three teenage girls he met while working as an Army recruiter at high schools, officials said.

The commanding general of the Army Recruiting Command will determine whether Sgt. Joshua Castle should face military criminal charges in a court-martial.

"There was enough evidence to substantiate unfortunate things took place that were not in the best interest of the Army" and the girls, Maj. Timothy Hardy, commander of the recruiting company based in Lancaster, told The Columbus Dispatch for a story Tuesday.

Hardy declined to provide details of the military investigation or allegations against Castle, who was removed from recruiting in southern Ohio last fall and assigned to work that does not involve minors...

1. Oh, boy, this happens at least once at every recruiting command

during the average tour. Between the perverts measuring the young ladies for their life vests at the Navy recruiter, to the asshole in the Army who gives the gals late night foxhole training, it is a real problem. Some people are just predators, and not cut out for the job. Some of the young ladies are at that age when they are easily impressed (and of course, youth is wasted on the young--they always look better than they think they do) and some of the recruiters lack maturity as well as decency.
