A member of the United States Air Force has been charged by Japanese prosecutors with kidnapping and raping a schoolgirl in Okinawa. Police say the attack took place just before Christmas last year.
Brennon Washington, 25, was charged on March 27 with “non-consensual sexual intercourse” and “indecent kidnapping,” a court spokesperson in Naha, Okinawa’s capital, told CNN. They said the US military handed the service member to Japanese authorities the same day. His trial is set to begin on July 12.
