岩国基地の米兵4人軍法会議へ、集団女性暴行で

【3月6日 AFP】前年10月、広島市内で米海兵隊岩国航空基地（山口県岩国市）所属の海兵隊員4人が日本人女性（当時19）を集団暴行したとされる事件で、在日米軍は4人を軍法会議にかけることを決定した。5日、NHKが報じた。
米軍では軍法会議を4月後半に岩国基地内で開くとしている。4人には女性を車の中で集団で暴行した上、所持金を奪った疑いがもたれている。
4人について広島地検は嫌疑不十分ですでに不起訴処分にしている。日本の捜査当局は女性の証言に一貫性がないとし、4人のうち1人との性交渉については同意があったと判断したと、国内メディアは報じた。
前週には、沖縄の女子中学生（当時14）に対する暴行事件で取り調べを受けていた別の米海兵隊2等軍曹（38）について、被害を受けた中学生が告訴を取り下げたため、那覇地検が不起訴処分としている。釈放後、同2等軍曹の身柄は米軍当局が拘束しており、今後懲戒処分が科されるとみられている。(c)AFP

-----------------------------------------------------------
Four US Marines will face court-martial in Japan over allegations they gang-raped a local woman, the US military said, even though Japanese prosecutors dropped the case.
The alleged gang-rape was one of a string of incidents linked to US troops this year that has triggered outrage in Japan, one of Washington's closest allies.
One of the Marines will face a court-martial in late April and another from early May, according to the public affairs office of the Iwakuni base near the western city of Hiroshima.
The dates were yet to be set for the two others, according to the office, saying the military would disclose more information later.
The court-martial decision was first reported late Wednesday by Japan's public broadcaster NHK.
The woman, who was 19 at the time of the incident in October, said that the four Marines raped her in a car and then stole her money.
But Japanese prosecutors decided not to press charges against the men. Japanese press reports said police found that the woman, now 20, changed her account and was believed to have consented to sex with one man.
The US military decided to court-martial the men amid resentment by the Japanese public over a string of criminal allegations against American soldiers.
Japanese prosecutors last week dropped the case of another US Marine accused of raping a 14-year-old girl on the southern island of Okinawa, home to more than half the US forces in the country.
The girl did not want to continue the case, which received intense media attention.
The US military said the 38-year-old Marine was taken into custody for potential disciplinary action.
The incidents overshadowed a visit last week by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who offered an apology over the alleged rape of the 14-year-old.
The US military also put all troops and their relatives in Okinawa and Iwakuni under a sweeping curfew for nearly two weeks.
More than 40,000 US troops are based in Japan under a security treaty with the close US ally, which has been officially pacifist since World War II.
