In other military news, another U.S. military serviceman has been detained over an alleged sexual assault on Japan’s southern island of Okinawa. It is the second reported incident in ten days. The alleged rape happened before a twenty-four-hour curfew was imposed on US troops, their families and civilians working for the military on Okinawa. The first complaint was made by a fourteen-year-old schoolgirl, the second by a woman from the Philippines who says she was attacked in a hotel. The U.S. has about 20,000 troops deployed in Okinawa.
