FORT BRAGG, N.C. — A North Carolina-based soldier has been charged in connection with several sexual assaults and burglaries near Fort Bragg.

Authorities said Friday the new charges against 22-year-old Spc. Aaron Pernell, of Tulsa, Okla., came after a task force reviewed a series of attacks in Fayetteville and neighboring Hoke County since June.

The 26 new charges include three counts each of first-degree rape and first-degree kidnapping; five counts of attempted second-degree rape; and six counts of first-degree burglary.

Pernell was charged last month in two burglaries and a sexual assault at Fort Bragg. He remains in military custody and it wasn’t immediately clear if he had an attorney.

Authorities say the task force has determined a second rape suspect is in the area, but hasn’t identified the man.

unhappycamper comment: I wonder how many trips to the sandbox Pernell has. Not that a trip or two to the sandbox gives you the right to commit crimes but there is a correlation to combat, PTSD/TBI, and aberrant behavior.
