Compiled from Times wiresThe Smoking Gun Web site strikes again, revealing Rob Campos' indiscretions and his departure from the Marine Corps.
The 33-year-old attorney at the center of NBC's new dating show For Love or Money was headed for a career with the Marine Corps Judge Advocate General unit in 1999 until he drunkenly groped the breasts of a Navy officer, the Web site TheSmokingGun.com reported.
Rob Campos barged uninvited into the woman's dorm room at the Newport Naval Station in Rhode Island, according to the site. He was expelled from the JAG training program, given an administrative punishment and ordered to enroll in a substance abuse treatment program.
In a statement, NBC said that it had thoroughly researched Campos' background but didn't know about the Navy incident because it is not part of the public record and Campos said nothing about it.
Production of the show has been completed.
"I have apologized to NBC and (producer Bruce) Nash for not informing them about the incident," Campos said in the NBC statement. "I had believed that it was a private matter that had been resolved."
The Smoking Gun notes that Campos' NBC biography, since removed from the network site, said that he "joined the U.S. Marine Corps as a Judge Advocate" and that the biography on the Web site of the Dallas law firm where he works says he served in the JAG Corps.
