An Army soldier based at Fort Drum has been arrested after he allegedly Skyped with his wife while she had oral sex with an underage girl in their New York home. He was reportedly stationed in Afghanistan at the time of the July 2011 incident.
Shawn S. Raymo, 22, and wife Jessica M. Raymo, 21, were each charged with one count of felony use of a child less than 17 in a sexual performance and one count of misdemeanor endangering the welfare of a child, according to New York State Police. The alleged victim was 15-years-old.
A spokesman for Fort Drum told the News that he'd never heard of anything like the alleged sex crime happening there before: "We are constantly trying to brief our soldiers on things that they should not be doing." And they are now dutifully adding 'don't watch your wife go down on an underage girl on Skype' to those briefings.
The couple were arrested yesterday, arraigned and sent to the Jefferson County jail with bail set at $5,000 each.
