在沖繩犯強姦罪的兩名美國海軍水兵被判監禁大綱

A court on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa has sentenced two U.S. sailors to prison for the rape and robbery of a local woman October last year.

The Naha District Court sentenced 24-year-old Seaman Christopher Browning to 10 years on charges of gang rape and robbery, while his accomplice, 23-year-old Petty Officer 3rd Class Skyler Dozierwalker got nine years for gang rape.

The two robbed and assaulted the woman on October 16. Both men pleaded guilty earlier this week.

The case prompted a Japan-wide curfew for U.S. service members. Despite the curfew, misconduct involving American troops - much of it drunken - has continued to fuel anti-American sentiment in places hosting U.S. bases.日本南部沖繩島的一家法院判處於去年10月強姦和搶劫一名當地女子的兩名美國海軍水兵入獄服刑。

日本那霸地區法院以輪姦罪和搶劫罪判處24歲上等兵布朗寧10年監禁，以輪姦罪判處他的同夥，現年23歲的下士多齊爾沃克九年監禁。

這兩名美國軍人於去年10月16號搶劫並強姦那名女子。他們本星期早些時候都已認罪。

這起案件導致對全體駐日美軍實行宵禁。儘管實行了宵禁，美國軍人的不當行爲繼續在日本的美軍駐地激起反美情緒。美國軍人通常是在喝醉後肇事的。
