SALT LAKE CITY -- A Marine recruiter accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a teenage girl appeared in court Monday morning.

Prosecutors say Hooper met a 15-year-old girl at one of the schools where he was recruiting and began having a relationship with her. They say he had sex with the girl several time and even videotaped some of the encounters.
The charges against him include rape and sexual exploitation of a minor.
