Heading: Curtis’s Criminal Prosecution

Text: In August 2008, law enforcement officials arrested Curtis, now a civilian, for a sexual assault on another minor. While searching Curtis’s computer, officials found pictures and 8 GALLARDO V. UNITED STATES Myspace messages that he had sent to Gallardo. Detectives interviewed Gallardo at her home in the fall of 2008. The following year, Gallardo and her mother were subpoenaed for Curtis’s criminal trial. During the trial, Gallardo’s mother learned from a female member of the Corps that Curtis had assaulted her, but that her military superiors had taken no disciplinary action against him after she reported the assault. Gallardo later learned that in March 2006, two months before Curtis sexually assaulted her on career day, he had been court-martialed for sexually assaulting three female members of the Corps. The result of Curtis’s court-martial was that “the Corps retained his enlistment, assigned him to recruitment detail, and he was scheduled to be discharged in June 2006.”
