日本南部冲绳岛的一家法院判处于去年10月强奸和抢劫一名当地女子的两名美国海军水兵入狱服刑。

日本那霸地区法院以轮奸罪和抢劫罪判处24岁上等兵布朗宁10年监禁,以轮奸罪判处他的同伙,现年23岁的下士多齐尔沃克九年监禁。

这两名美国军人于去年10月16号抢劫并强奸那名女子。他们本星期早些时候都已认罪。

这起案件导致对全体驻日美军实行宵禁。尽管实行了宵禁,美国军人的不当行为继续在日本的美军驻地激起反美情绪。美国军人通常是在喝醉后肇事的。


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.
