New Marine Underage Rape Case

U.S. sets up task force over Okinawa rape case
Japan Times - Friday, Feb. 15, 2008

The United States Forces Japan set up a task force of top brass to review and reinforce its sexual-harassment and assault-prevention programs as resentment builds over the alleged rape of a 14-year-old girl by a U.S. Marine in Okinawa, its commander said Thursday.

Speaking to reporters in Tokyo, Lt. Gen. Bruce Wright said a series of working groups under the task force will review the educational programs and preventive steps already in place over the next two to four weeks.

This kind of act is absolutely unacceptable. . . . Our job is to do everything we can to restore the confidence of Japanese people," Wright said.

Aside from reviewing the existing programs, the USFJ plans to bring in experts on sexual assault to ensure the credibility of the measures, he said.

Wright said the current programs — including certain limits on the movements of younger servicemen off-base during late hours — had been effective up to now.

"We know that the (existing) programs have been effective over the years both in the U.S. and outside the U.S.," he said, adding that the programs are reaching all the servicemen.

Right. "Reaching all the servicemen," except those older servicemen with rank obviously.

You do know that the grunts posted in Okinawa are tops guns at something, right? From: A Chalmers Johnson report

The governor's petition included the information that, according to Okinawan prefectural police records, during the thirty-year period since Okinawa reverted to Japan's administration (1972-2002), American troops, Pentagon civilians, and military dependents committed 5,157 crimes in Okinawa, of which 533 were the "heinous" crimes of murder and rape. This works out to 17.7 heinous crimes per year or 1.5 per month.15 In a famous study comparing rates of military sexual assault leading to court martial around the world from 1988 to 1994, the Dayton Daily News found that Okinawa had a rate of 4.12 per 1,000 U.S. military personnel compared with Camp Pendleton's 2.0, Camp Lejeune's 1.75, San Diego's 1.09, and Norfolk, Virginia's 0.80. Inamine stressed that this situation has not changed. In fact, since fiscal year 1996, just after the major Okinawan rape incident, the number of crimes committed by servicemen grew at a rate of 1.3 times per year.16

Chalmers is not the best source for an un-biased report on Okinawa. He has long been against the US presence, most specifically the marines and he does like to play with the figures without showing certain things about what he is using for data. The comparisons in this instance for example are against primarily training bases in the states where a very large portion of the young marines are unable to leave the facilities and would have to depend on raping each other, if they wanted to up the batting average.

I don't think we can draw definate conclusions from a lot of his information, because of his blatant bias. This is not to say there may not be a major problem, or that there is not. Just that it would be hard to get an evaluation from him. Even from the days on the old DFS board, you did not want to even think about bringing up Okinawa, without worrying about a two day broadside from him!

:rofl:

.. I was going to say they had more 'appealing' 'targets' in Okinawa, but that would be controversial. Your point makes more sense..

The fallout just keeps getting worse for military members in Okinawa.

Okinawa wants data on soldiers living off base
Japan Times - Feb. 17, 2008

The Okinawa Prefectural Government plans to conduct a survey on U.S. military personnel who live off base to determine how many there are and other details as resentment continues to simmer over a suspected case of rape involving a U.S. Marine, prefectural officials said Saturday.

Local concern is rising due to the perception that off-base personnel are not subject to the same restrictions on going out and other activities as soldiers who live on base are.

The U.S. military has taken measures to prevent incidents involving servicemen on base, such as imposing curfews.

The central government plans to ask the U.S. to tighten control over service personnel living off base.

Looks like military members who want to reside off-base could end up with more hoops to jump through and can be expected to share more information with the GOJ.

I see what you're saying Greji, but if I read that section correctly, he's quoting from an investigative report a fellow writing for the Dayton Daily News did after the troubles in '95. At least in that case, it's not him tweaking the numbers; he's found stats from another source that play into the position he's staked.

Another new case of alleged rape, involving a US serviceman.

Since this afternoon, the Okinawa military community has been spreading rumors the suspect was released without being charged.

Which one?

[Mike Oxlong]

The guy who hooked up with the middle school yanki girl in Koza. No confirmation, just a lot of gossip.

If that's correct, it means the cops don't have a case against him, or he paid off the family big time and the charges have been dropped!

[Mike Oxlong]

Turns out it was incorrect. Local TV news said the prosecutors won another ten days to keep and question the guy. He had confessed to using force, but says he did not know she was so young.

This table, from Chalmers' JPRI, shows some of the numbers from that Dayton News report. Notice that he uses these state-side training bases for comparison because these are the bases with the most sexual assault cases. I guess those marines are raping each other.

So, if Chalmers fixed the numbers, how did he do it? And aside from pointing exclusively at the Air Force numbers, how can you massage these numbers to make the military in Okinawa/Japan look better?

And aside from pointing exclusively at the Air Force numbers, how can you massage these numbers to make the military in Okinawa/Japan look better?

Easy! Take a weighted average of number of assault cases per personnel, weighted by the age of the victim. I suspect Japan will have a lower ratio than many of the other bases!!

Cuntaleeza Rice says she sorry. Maybe she devote her life to sucking serviceman cock since she's so worried about keeping it under control.

This coming from the guy always talking about my closet homosexuality.

And for the record, I WOULD accept a blowjob from Condi.

Reuters: Marine in Okinawa rape case released

A U.S. Marine arrested earlier this month on suspicion of raping a 14-year-old girl was released by the Japanese authorities on Friday, a spokesman for the U.S. military in Okinawa, southern Japan, said. The 38-year-old Marine, Tyrone Hadnott, was released because prosecutors decided not to press charges as the girl had dropped the accusation against him, Kyodo news agency reported..."We've determined it isn't appropriate to indict the suspect by applying charges ... out of consideration for the victim's feelings," Kyodo quoted Yaichiro Yamashiki, chief prosecutor at the Naha District Public Prosecutors Office in Okinawa, as saying. A journalist in Okinawa said there had been criticism of the girl on the Internet and that it was possible that her family decided to spare her the ordeal of any trial...more...

and no one wants to mention that maybe...just maybe....0.00001% maybe, there were some inconsistencies in her recollection of the events that transpired. Nah...

Possibly she was suffering a loss of income from her enjou kosai side business do to the bad noteriety?

Anyway, my man is back in the custody of the Crotch and they ain't happy. He may shortly wish he was back in the J-slammer!

[joshuaism]

and no one wants to mention that maybe...just maybe....0.00001% maybe, there were some inconsistencies in her recollection of the events that transpired. Nah...

Because there's nothing wrong with hooking up with a 14 year old if she consents, right?

Oh well, no doubt Hadnott will be kept in custody by the base and the military will get to save face by removing this 'threat' from Okinawa themselves when the Okinawan prosecutors could not. Restrictions will be lifted shortly, and the military will get to rebuke the Japanese press and public for so quickly passing judgment against our fine military members and the service they provide to both of our countries. Disgruntled Okinawans will have a harder time rallying support for protests against 'American occupation' of the island for a while to come because the victims of military crime just cannot be believed and, as everyone recently discovered, the military does so much for the area economically.

Months later, just like in the recent 'gang-rape' at Iwakuni, the military courts will bring Hadnott up on charges, his defense lawyers and the Stars & Stripes will get to smear the 'victim' as a lying slut, and her unprinted name is still ruined on the internet and in the tabloids. Whether this trial was conducted by the military or the Japanese courts, the results would have been the same. But because the girl dropped her charges, the military gets to come out of this situation in a much better light.

[Iraira]

If we wuz in Georgia, as I reckon, the law useta be that 'ew cud hook up with yer 13 year old couzin, get hitch'd and raise a spawn of inbred Jeds. Just a wanna know if Hadenott knew that she was 14? If so, cut his dick off immediately or relocate him to Georgia.

[Greji]

But because the girl dropped her charges, the military gets to come out of this situation in a much better light.

You ought to try to get the movie rights to your story. If you believe so much in this young innocent, why don't you go to Shibuya and report to the press on the army of 14-16's waiting to haul your ashes, or suck your flopper for strangely enough, the exact price of one brand name article of clothing, or handbag. I think it would make a nice touching follow up story

Maybe this marine was in the wrong which is always very bad, but maybe he was dumb and would not pay her rental fee, which was eqaually stupid.

But, you might remember, she took off with him first, leaving her friends to go for a ride on his croutch rocket. Most young 14 year olds normally take off riding with a 38 year old stranger, expecially in Okinawa home of the famous herds of military rapists. Also, most famous marine rapists always try to pick up a victim while she is hanging out with several thousand people than can identify him and her and place them together for later investigation purposes.

The Japanese Prosecutor says they don't want to subject her to testimony, which was discussed with the family as part of their decision not to pursue this matter. The English translation of that is either there was something greviously wrong with the evidence in the case that the Procurator felt he could not convict, or the rabid FG rapist made a private settlement. Well, since he was a SSgt in the croutch, he probably did not have too many un-numbered Swiss bank accounts, so the size of private settlement may well not have been within his reach.

You may have not been in Japan to appreciate that the police and the procurators (DA's office) in Japan do not give a break to FGs and even beyond the seriousness of the allegation, they will do everything in their power to prosecute this type of case because of the noteriety it will provide them. They do not, repeat, do not, willingly drop these cases. If they have to drop charges, they will make excuses like the *family of the accused* wishes to drop charges]IF [/B]the military was better contolled; IF the military wasn't there; IF the Yankee went home and so forth. These are all nice insinuations on your part, but I should mention that "IF" is a big word, as referenced by IF a duck had airbrakes it wouldn't get a douche everytime it hit the pond.
