SEOUL, South Korea — A senior U.S. diplomat apologized Friday in connection with the rape of an 18-year-old South Korean woman for which a U.S. serviceman has been accused, and the U.S. military imposed a month-long late- night curfew on its troops in South Korea.
The apology by Kurt M. Campbell, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, and the curfew reflected Washington’s sensitivity over crimes involving U.S. soldiers, which have set off protests here.
The soldier, 21, a private first class whose name has not been released, is said to have entered the victim’s home, a small room in a motel in Dongducheon, north of Seoul, on Sept. 24 and raped her, according to South Korean police.
