Allegations come days after Japanese authorities increased efforts to deter crimes by US servicemen on island
Two US marines based on the Japanese island of Okinawa are being investigated for alleged rape, days after local authorities stepped up efforts to deter sexual and other crimes by US service personnel.
A marine in his 20s is suspected of raping a Japanese woman in a bathroom at a US military base last month, while a second man, also a marine in his 20s, allegedly raped a woman at a base in January, according to media reports.
The men, who were not named publicly, had been referred to Japanese prosecutors, the Kyodo news agency said.
You’d probably have more luck if u actually read the article
“Last week, US military officials and Japanese police conducted a joint patrol of a popular entertainment district near a US airbase in Okinawa. It was the first time the two countries had conducted patrols together since 1974, two years after the islands that make up Okinawa prefecture reverted to Japanese control.”
It has nothing to do with the investigation.
I actually don’t even know what you’re talking about with your other points because nowhere does it say the US is blocking the investigation in any way, and the previous investigations into previous behavior lead to indictment
