Anger and protests are growing in Okinawa, following the recent news report that the national government for the past three months has not notified the prefecture that a U.S. serviceman was indicted for allegedly sexually assaulting an Okinawan girl.
It has come into the open that yet another rape incident involving a U.S. soldier in Okinawa had been concealed for more than one month from the general public preceding the Okinawa Prefectural Assembly election.
A case involving a U.S. airman in Okinawa came to light on June 27 in which he had been indicted by the Naha District Public Prosecutors Office for the kidnapping and raping of a girl under the age of 16.
