Naked Marine Photo Scandal: Nude Videos Leak To PornHub

A top Marines Corps general was scheduled to appear in closed-door meetings with the Senate and House Armed Services Committees next week over the investigation of nude photos of female Marines plastered all over social media, Military Times reported Thursday.

According to the report, the Senate committee chairman John McCain (R-Ariz.) and House chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) each said they will have Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Robert Neller in on Tuesday. Thornberry suggested the corps had already taken the necessary steps towards a proper investigation.

“I have no doubt the Marine Corps is taking this seriously,” Thornberry said to reporters according to The Times. “I’m sure they are talking to lawyers and being careful about what they say publicly.”

Over the weekend, a military blog and the Center for Investigative Reporting published a report about a Facebook group called Marines United that allegedly circulated and shared naked, illicit or suggestive photos of female Marines to some 30,000 members. The report said that the Marines, members of the Navy and the British Royal Marines were, as well as veterans had access to the pictures and had posted thousands of comments.

It was unknown exactly how many photos were shared or how many female Marines were involved but felony charges could be on the horizon for active duty members who participated.

The Naval Criminal Investigative Service had already launched an investigation, but the initial findings are presently unknown.

Despite the social media group being shut down, the investigation and Congress’ interest in the case, some of the group’s old members have reportedly already started new pages to share photos called Marines United 2 or MU2, CNN reported.

However, the group has even reportedly escalated its activities. Along with re-distributing the photos on DropBox, the 2,300-member group has now taken to posting videos to public pornography site PornHub, Task and Purpose reported.

"It would be hilarious if one of these FBI or (Naval Criminal Investigative Service) f***s found their wife on here," a member posted on the original group’s page, according to CNN.

But, also in response, a GoFundMe page called “Female Marines United” was started Tuesday with a fundraising goal of $30,000 to help female Marines affected by the photo scandal, the Washington Post reported. To date, the group had raised more than $4,110.
