Marine Disciplines Soldier for Sharing Naked Pictures of Female Marines in Facebook Group
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. Marine Corps says it has sentenced a marine to a reduction in
rank and 10 days' confinement after he pleaded guilty to sharing naked
images of fellow female marines in a private male-only Facebook group.
As many as 30,000 male marines were members of the invite-only Facebook
group called Marines United, in which they shared thousands of naked or
sexually suggestive photos of their fellow female marines-along with a
barrage of misogynistic comments, including some saying the women should
be raped.
