TOKYO — Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda of Japan voiced anger Tuesday over accusations that a U.S. Marine had raped a 14-year-old girl in Okinawa, calling the episode “unforgivable.”
“Even though this has occurred several times in the past, it has happened again,” Fukuda said. “I take this very seriously.”
The Marine, Staff Sgt. Tyrone Luther Hadnott, 38, from Camp Courtney in Okinawa, was arrested after being accused of attacking the girl in his car Sunday night. Hadnott, who has denied raping the girl, has not been formally charged.
In 1995, three American servicemen gang-raped a 12-year- old girl in Okinawa.
