According to local media reports, a 21-year-old U.S. Marine in the southernmost Japan prefecture of Okinawa has been indicted on charges of nonconsensual sexual intercourse resulting in injury in May, following the indictment of a U.S. Air Force member for the alleged kidnap and sexual assault of a girl under 16 in December. The Japanese government, however, did not disclose the cases until local media exposed them at the end of June, sparking widespread anger across the nation.
