Four Marines have been court-martialed for their participation in the rape of a Japanese girl. These servicemen are not to be confused with Tyrone Hadnott, the Marine accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Okinawa. These Marines are being punished for an entirely different rape that took place last year in Hiroshima. (They allegedly gang raped a 19-year-old in a car shortly after meeting her in an event hall.) Two of the four have military trials slated for April and May. The other two do not have scheduled dates yet. [Reuters]
