The 48 Hours NCIS episode “The Cases They Can’t Forget” features the 2013 arrest of Willie A. Brown in Jacksonville, North Carolina. Between July 2011 and September 2012, Brown broke into the homes of four women who were married to Marines and Navy personnel connected to Camp Lejeune. He raped three of the women and assaulted one. Two of the victims were four and eight months pregnant at the time. Brown was found guilty on all 33 counts against him including first-degree rape, kidnapping, and robbery with a dangerous weapon. He was sentenced to a minimum of 400 years in prison.
In jail, Brown has been accused of using a razor to assault an inmate. According the Onslow County Sheriff’s Office, Brown had told inmates he was incarcerated for murder. When the inmates found out he was on trial for rape, “friction began to develop between them” and Brown used a shaving razor blade to assault one of the inmates. According to ABC News 12, Brown was charged with possession of a dangerous weapon in prison but D.A. Ernie Lee said since Brown is already spending the rest of his life in prison, it’s in the best interest of the Justice System to dismiss the new charges against him. 48 Hours: NCIS airs Tuesdays at 10pm on CBS.
