(La Porte, IN) - A military service recruiter in La Porte could face prison time for having sex with a 17 year old high school student.

 

27 year old Daniel Escobar is charged in La Porte Circuit Court with two counts of child seduction.

 

According to court documents, Escobar was a U.S. Marine Corps recruiter last month when he met a 17-year-old student through a local school.  The girl told police she met Escobar at her school then went to his recruitment office on Andrew Ave. on La Porte’s west side to get information about military service.

 

Authorities said their talks, eventually, became sexual then later they had sex on two separate occasions at the recruitment office.  Escobar was at Michigan City High School recently when taken in for questioning.

 

He’s scheduled to be in court for his initial appearance on the allegations on Friday.  He could face anywhere from a one to six year sentence on each count.
