"Tariq tried to explain through interpreters that his conduct was acceptable in his culture."

William Cole reports,
An Afghan refugee has been convicted of sexually assaulting a three-year-old girl at Quantico Marine Corps Base following their evacuation from Afghanistan.
Tariq was arrested in September at Camp Upshur in Quantico after Marines observed him fondling the girl, who was not related to him, above her clothes on her private parts.
Both Tariq, the victim and her family had recently been evacuated from Afghanistan and brought to the United States during the country's takeover by the Taliban.
According to court papers, Tariq tried to explain through interpreters that his conduct was acceptable in his culture. Efforts to have his statements suppressed were rejected by the judge.
