TOKYO, Japan (AP) -- The U.S. military in Japan says it has charged a Marine with raping a 14-year-old girl in Okinawa.

The military said Friday it charged Staff Sgt. Tyrone L. Hadnott earlier in the week in the alleged February 10 attack.

No date has been set for the court-martial.

Japanese police initially apprehended Hadnott in the attack but released him after the girl dropped charges. U.S. authorities then investigated the case under the strict military justice code.

What is it with U.S. soldiers and little kids? It's like we send all our pedophile soldiers to Japan.

It's not just Okinawa where foreign soldiers are raping the girls...

Is this the same one from a previous thread or a new one?

Ouch. Too many soldiers these days are just not what they are supposed to be. I think the military, as a whole, is too lax and too "politically correct."
This is unacceptable, unworthy, and downright shameful.

Exactly.
