Douglas Dietrich and the Camp Pendleton/MCRD USMC Porn Ring Lie

Douglas Dietrich's Claims:

 - Agreed to appear in USMC "porn movies" as a condition of his "Dishonorable Discharge" from the USMC in 1991.

- Had "illegal orders" to report to Richard K Cole who he said had contacted him by phone, for sex.

- He was personally responsible for exposing a USMC "Gay/Child Porn Ring" involving Marines at MCRD San Diego, and Camp Pendleton and underage boys.

- That he worked with the wives of US Marines involved in exposing the scandal. 

- That he personally informed Police and Marine investigators about "Uncle Rico" aka "Bobby" Luciano Ceballos.

The following news articles from August to October 1993, however, detail a totally different story and essentially refute his own. Most importantly, the investigation found no evidence of extensive Marine involvement.  It also did not show any involvement of Marines assigned to MCRD San Diego, and...

"Child abuse investigators for the Oceanside Police Department announced last week that they were closing an inquiry into a gay male porno production ring because it did not involve underage boys, as detectives had feared."

The three articles I present here as evidence tell a very different story.  One of the first questions I had was how could Dietrich have been personally involved including "working with the wives of Marines" in Oceanside, CA while living in San Francisco.

My whereabouts 1988-1994:

After leaving USMC Active Duty in April 1988 I was exploring employment opportunities in areas near immediate family in New York State. (I had been issued $6,000.00 in US Savings Bonds I had acquired while on active duty). I was a USMC Individual Ready Reservist (IRR) and received orders to report to the Syracuse, NY USMC Reserve Center twice a year until receiving an Honorable Discharge in May 1990.

I chose to move to rural Summer Hill, NY, and was hired by Smith Carona Inc. in August 1988. I worked there as an assembler until major lay-offs began in August 1990. I was receiving extended unemployment benefits when I was offered the opportunity to attend college via the Trade Adjustment Allowance Act, https://oui.doleta.gov/unemploy/tra.asp

I enrolled at Tompkins Cortland Community College in the spring of 1991 and earned an Associate of Applied Science degree in Communications Studies in 1993.  I then transferred to the SUNY at Cortland as a Junior to study Communications with a minor concentration in History in 1993. I attended SUNY Cortland until 1995. 

During that time I lived in Cortland, NY, completed an internship at the local newspaper The Cortland Standard as a General Assignment Reporter, and worked essentially full time at two restaurants/bars as a dishwasher and line cook.

This refutes Dietrich's claims of my serving as a US Marine in California in 1991 when he claims he received a Dishonorable Discharge. In fact, I was never stationed in California and ended my Active Service obligation from the 2nd Marine Division, Camp Lejeune NC. I did participate in a Combined Arms Excercise (CAX) at 29 Palms, CA in Jan-Feb 1988 after Dietrich had already been tossed out the Marine Corps.
