A Japanese court Friday sentenced two American servicemen to prison for a rape committed last year while they were on duty at a U.S. military base in Okinawa.

The Naha District Court handed down a sentence of 10 years to Navy Seaman Christopher Daniel Browning and nine years to Petty Officer Skyler A Dozierwalker for raping a Japanese woman after attacking her in a parking lot.

    Glad to see local judicial dept. was able to overide military immunity. For too long the few bad seeds were able to escape the punisments of the host countries. Let them see what it's like in the foreign sector.
