Two Afghan nationals who fled Kabul, Afghanistan, following the Taliban takeover of the country in August have been accused of committing crimes during their stay at Fort McCoy, a military base in Wisconsin.

A federal grand jury in Wisconsin indicted the pair in unrelated cases. Bahrullah Noori, 20, is charged with one count of attempting to engage in a sexual act with a minor by using force and three counts of engaging in a sex act with a minor, with one count also alleging the use of force.
