A US marine has been sentenced to seven years in prison for sexually assaulting a woman during his deployment in Japan’s Okinawa.
Lance Corporal Jamel Clayton, 22, attacked and choked the woman from behind and tried to have sex with her, the Naha district court in Okinawa said on Tuesday. The woman, in her 20s, had reported the assault to the local police as well as a friend shortly after it took place in May last year.
