A Navy chaplain was fired last month from his post at a Marine Corps command after he was caught on video having sex with a woman at a pub in New Orleans, USA TODAY has learned.
The Marines fired Navy Capt. Loften Thornton on March 20 for loss of trust and confidence, said Marine Lt. Col. Ted Wong, a spokesman for Marine Reserve. Thornton had been chaplain for Marine Forces Reserve based in New Orleans.
The Navy provides chaplains for the Marine Corps. Clergy members are embedded within commands operating at sea and ashore to ensure 24/7 availability, according to the Navys strategic plan for religious ministry. They provide a source of comfort and refuge that enables service members and their families to practice and grow in their faith and to face personal and professional challenges.
