US Marine arrested, accused of traveling ‘to meet, kidnap and sexually assault’ 12-year-old girl: FBI
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
An active-duty U.S. Marine was arrested this week after he allegedly traveled from North Carolina to Indiana “to meet, kidnap and sexually assault” a 12-year-old girl, the FBI said.
William Richard Roy, a 24-year-old from Camp Lejeune, was taken into custody by the FBI in Durham, N.C., on Oct. 26, according to the FBI’s Indianapolis Field Office.
The bureau said its investigation began on Oct. 25 when the FBI Indianapolis Field Office’s Merrillville Resident Agency received information from the Hammond Police Department regarding a missing 12-year-old girl believed to be traveling with Roy. The child’s grandmother had reported her missing earlier that day.
“Through the coordinated efforts of the FBI, Hammond Police Department, and U.S. Marshals Service, it was determined Roy allegedly flew to Chicago on October 24, 2025. The following day, he took an Uber to Hammond, where he met the child at a park,” the FBI statement added. “The two then traveled by Uber back to Chicago, stayed overnight at a hotel, and later boarded a Greyhound bus bound for Durham, North Carolina.”

“When the bus arrived in Durham on October 26, agents from the FBI Charlotte Field Office’s Greensboro and Raleigh Resident Agencies took Roy into custody and safely recovered the child,” the FBI also said.
An FBI Indianapolis spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Friday that Roy claimed he met the child on TikTok.

Inside the 2026 NFL Draft wide receiver pool: playmakers and sleepers
USA TODAY Sports’ Christian D’Andrea breaks down the top wide receiver studs, sleepers, and deep sleepers in the 2026 NFL Draft.
The 2026 NFL Combine has passed, Pro Days have wrapped up, and scouts and front‑office personnel from across the league are finishing their draft boards in preparation for April’s NFL Draft.
Here’s what to know about the 2026 NFL draft.
When is the 2026 NFL draft?
The 2026 NFL draft will begin with the first round on Thursday, April 23. Rounds 2 and 3 occur the following day, and the draft will conclude on its third day with Rounds 4-7 on Saturday, April 25.

How are NFL draft prospects graded?
Using NFL.com analyst Lance Zierlein’s grading scale, players are evaluated based on their physical traits, on-field performance and projected role. Here’s how that scale breaks down.
- 8: Perfect prospect
- 7.3-7.5: Perennial All-Pro
- 7.0-7.1: Pro Bowl talent
- 6.7-6.9: Year 1 starter
- 6.5-6.6: Boom-or-bust potential
- 6.40-6.49: Will become a good starter within two years
- 6.30-6.39: Will eventually be plus starter
- 6.20-6.29: Will eventually be an average starter
- 6.10-6.19: Good backup with the potential to develop into a starter
- 6.0-6.09: Traits or talent to be above-average backup
- 5.80-5.99: Average backup or special-teamer
- 5.60-5.69: Candidate for bottom of roster or practice squad
- 5.50-5.59: Priority undrafted free agent
For context, the highest-graded player in the year’s entire draft class was former Ohio State linebacker/defensive end Arvell Reese, who earned a rating of 7.04. Reese ran the fastest 40-yard dash at the defensive end position, clocking a 4.46, and is considered a top-five draft pick after earning All-American and Big Ten Linebacker of the Year honors in 2025.
Similar to high school recruiting rankings, these evaluations aren’t an exact science. They’re projections, and players can ultimately exceed or fall short of them.
For example, before becoming a multiple-time Pro Bowler, George Kittle received a 5.90 grade. Similarly, former Iowa State Cyclones football quarterback Brock Purdy was given a 5.57 rating before outperforming that projection at the NFL level.

Which Iowa State football player is graded ahead of the 2026 NFL draft?
Out of the more than 350 players given a draft prospect grade by NFL.com, only one Cyclone was recognized among the prospects.
Iowa State defensive lineman Domonique Orange was rated the fifth highest out of 34 defensive tackles with a prospect grade of 6.24 (will eventually be an average starter). The 2025 All-Big 12 third-team member is the 78th highest-rated player according to NFL.com.
The Kansas City native was invited to the 2026 NFL Draft Combine and appeared in Indianapolis to interview with teams, but opted not to participate in the on‑field drills. Most mock drafts have Orange projected as a Day 2 NFL draft pick.
Last year’s starting offensive linemen, James Neal III and Jim Bonifas, were among about a dozen former Cyclones who participated in Iowa State’s Pro Day on March 24 to raise their draft profiles or improve their chances of signing as undrafted free agents.
Northern Iowa also held its pro day on March 23, while Iowa hosted its on March 26, which featured all of the aforementioned players along with former Hawkeyes such as quarterback Mark Gronowski and defensive lineman Aaron Graves, all of whom worked out in front of scouts from all 32 NFL teams.
Kadyn Proctor graded as a top NFL Draft prospect
NFL.com gave former Southeast Polk football star Kadyn Proctor a 6.45 prospect grade, claiming he “Will become a good starter within two years.” Proctor tied with former Arizona State wide receiver Jordyn Tyson as the 10th-highest rated prospect, according to NFL.com.
ESPN projects the former Alabama offensive lineman to be drafted with the 24th pick by the Cleveland Browns. Proctor, a native of Des Moines, is fourth among all offensive lineman prospects according to USA TODAY.
