Authorities in Naha have made the decision not to pursue charges against a U.S. Marine stationed in Okinawa Prefecture involved in a sexual assault case from November. During a press conference on January 23, deputy chief prosecutor Daisuke Kodama explained that after reviewing the available evidence, they concluded that building a case for non-consensual sexual activity resulting in injury would be challenging.
The investigation started when a local woman reported the assault at a building on the main island of Okinawa. Following the report, the Marines were questioned, and authorities collaborated with the U.S. military in the investigation, which included identifying the Marine suspect through security camera footage. The Okinawa prefectural police forwarded their findings to prosecutors on January 8.
