U.S. Air Force captain in Okinawa kidnapped a girl under the age of 16

 

　In December last year, a 25-year-old U.S. Air Force captain in Okinawa kidnapped a girl under the age of 16 in his car and sexually assaulted her inside his home in central Okinawa Island. The Naha District Public Prosecutors Office charged the man with indecent kidnapping and non-consensual sexual intercourse on March 27. The Okinawa Prefectural Police voluntarily investigated the case without arrest and sent the case to the police on March 11. The man's custody was transferred to the Japanese side after the indictment.

　According to the indictment and the prefectural police, the man is suspected of sexually assaulting the girl at a park in the central part of the main island in December last year, saying to her that it was cold and that he would not talk to her in the car, putting her in the car, taking her to his house outside the base, and assaulting her without her consent. The district attorney's office has stated that it is "unable to reveal the truth because it would interfere with the trial.

　The first trial is scheduled for July 12.
