JACKSONVILLE, N.C. — A North Carolina-based staff non-commissioned officer faces sex-related charges, including felony secret peeping.

Staff Sgt. Dustin Paul Cosper, 38, of Camp Lejeune-based 2nd Radio Battalion, was arrested Monday. He also was charged with second-degree sexual offense and crime against nature, according to an Onslow County sheriff’s statement.

Authorities said Cosper was drinking with his wife and a young relative the evening of March 7. He told authorities he didn’t know how much alcohol the victim consumed, “but he was aware that she was in a drunken state,” according to the statement.

After the victim went to bed, Cosper told investigators he went to where she was sleeping and sexually assaulted her, admitting he’d been sexually attracted to her for about three years, the release said.

His bond was set at $50,000 and he was scheduled to make his first court appearance Tuesday.
