US serviceman arrested for sexual assault on girl in Okinawa First posted 12:57pm (Mla time) July 04, 2005 Agence France-Presse Get INQ7 breaking news on your Smart mobile phone in the Philippines. Send INQ7 BREAKING to 386. TOKYO, Japan -- Police said Monday they have arrested a US serviceman in Okinawa for allegedly fondling a 10-year-old girl, triggering fresh outrage on the island which hosts more than half of all US forces in Japan. Armando Valdez, a 27-year-old Air Force technical sergeant stationed at Kadena base, was arrested Sunday on "charges of indecent assault on a 10 year-old girl," a local police spokesman said. "The suspect allegedly forced the victim to roll her upper clothes up and fondled her breasts," the official said. The Asahi Shimbun said the assault had taken place at a carpark and that the suspect took pictures of the girl with his cell phone before fleeing. "I was terrified. I did what he told me because I thought he may kill me," the daily quoted the girl as telling police. Okinawa, which was captured by US forces in one of World War II's bloodiest battles and returned to Japan in 1972, has seen frequent protests against US forces, particularly in 1995 after three US Marines gang-raped a 12-year-old girl. "We are talking with the US side so that this kind of thing will not happen in the future. It is truly regrettable," said Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroyuki Hosoda, the spokesman of the Japanese government. Okinawa Governor Keiichi Inamine, who is campaigning to reduce the number of troops in the subtropical region, expressed "fierce anger and indignation." Noting that Okinawa had repeatedly asked the US military to prevent recurrence of crimes, Inamine said he "could not help concluding there is a problem in the US military's discipline." "It is a serious crime that tramples on the human rights of women. Given that the victim was an elementary school pupil, we can never forgive it and feel it was extremely regrettable," he said in a statement. The US military could not be reached for comment Monday, the Independence Day holiday. The United States stations 40,500 troops in officially pacifist Japan under a security alliance and stresses it is sensitive to local concerns. Okinawa accounts for less than one percent of Japan's land mass but remains the base of 65 percent of the US troops, with other communities reluctant to host them. |

I wonder why the Yakuza is not doing much about this? One reason why RP is safer without the 7th fleet.  Imagine an Asian 12 year old girl raped by men who pack too much meat? 10 year old, 12 year old? Why do they pick Asian children? These retardates cant be satisfied with asses back in the US anymore?  Probably the psychological effect of engaging into animal sex or anal sex? These criminals may soon be enticed to try forcing their dicks into keyholes.

(taken from another forum) America's Inability to Deal with Child Rapists & Molesters July 6, 2005. The latest horror comes from Idaho on America's north west. A White man named Joseph Duncan committed a triple murder and kidnaped two children, eight year old Shasta Groene and her nine year old brother Dylan. Shasta has been found alive and is feared to have been raped repeatedly. The rapist has been arrested. Dylan is feared dead and indications are that he was raped repeatedly and dismembered. Child molestation in America has taken on epidemic proportions. Each city has web sites listing the addresses of child molestors who have completed prison sentences. Observers fear that much of this evil goes unreported and extends into incest and violations within the increasingly fragile family system. New Trend urges Americans to look at the ROOTS of the problem and not attribute everything to chemical imbalances. The growth of pornography, a multi billion dollar business in America, has trampled on all notions of human decency. The first step was to treat women as objects of sexual exploitation and ritual rape. After the permutations of perversion in heterosexual sex, porn moved into homosexuality and was encourged by "gay liberation's" attempts to legitimize sex of this variety. From there, the natural progression was to the use of children as sex objects and finally to the flood of child molestation and incest. It's time that America looked at its own backyard instead of trying to "civilize" the world. How grotesque that American groups fixated on a rape victim in Pakistan, Mai Mukhtaran, and ordered General Musharraf to have her sent out on a world tour to highlight the suffering of women in Pakistan [which do exist but are not comparable to the horrors being perpetrated in America.] Earlier, missionary groups brought a boy out of Sudan and paraded him across America with the claim [unproven] that he had been a slave. How would Americans feel if Pakistan were to invite Shasta Groene's father to a tour of the Muslim world to educate Muslims about the realities of America? It is time for the Republicans to exert some of their crusading zeal against child molestors. Evil is right here and thriving. String up a few child molestors instead of trying to "liberate" Iraq. ===================================================== The western nations are now feeling the effects of too much pornography. From animal sex to anal sex, now the children are the next target. Soon, even babies may end up being the victims. It is about time we control how pornography is degrading human character. |

It's also amazing how the good things being done by Military personnel never hit the headlines as much. You would normally find such in the back pages or in small print. That's the big price one must pay when you swear an oath and put on the uniform. Once you go through such a transition to defend the Flag and the Constitution, you're no longer representing yourself anymore, but the country and its constituents as well. This is why we are always held to higher standards. Sadly even be criticized for the mistakes of our own service members and the constituents we swore to protect as well.

 Pls dont get me wrong, Sir. The threat to the next generation, your children as well, is clear. We have to do something to stop this trend. I hope you are getting my point too. |

Oh, no sweat Bro. I understand your point and no harm done :thumb: The thing about such occurences that US Military Members or Civilians do over here in our host country and back home is quite embarassing to all. It really leaves a bad impression upon us especially for such incidents that transpire over here in Japan. But I can guarantee you that such are so small in comparison to the goodwill events and volunteer activities many of us over here are involved in. IMHO, it is just so common that such isolated incidents leave a more lasting impression and are remembered than the majority of us who behave ourselves. Especially for those of us who go out of our way to represent a good image of the Service and the country too. In my case, they don't actually realize where I am really from (unless they ask) and which flag I personally bleed for.  |

Feds fight release of Abu Ghraib abuse photos Government claims al-Qaida, others will use materials as recruitment tool NEW YORK - Releasing photos and videotapes of detainee abuse at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison would aid al-Qaida recruitment, weaken governments in Iraq and Afghanistan and incite riots against U.S. troops, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff warned in court papers. The American Civil Liberties Union is seeking the release of 87 photographs and four videotapes taken at the prison as part of a lawsuit it filed in October 2003. Gen. Richard B. Myers wrote in recently unsealed court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that it was “probable that al-Qaida and other groups will seize upon these images and videos as grist for their propaganda mill.” ACLU alleges systematic abuse The ACLU complaint seeks information on the treatment of detainees in U.S. custody and the transfer of prisoners to countries known to use torture. It also contends that prisoner abuse is systemic. The government submitted an additional request to the court Friday arguing that some information in its court papers that remains blacked out should not be made public. In a response to the arguments by Myers, the ACLU submitted a declaration by retired U.S. Army Col. Michael E. Pheneger, who said Myers “mistakes propaganda for motivation.” Pheneger, a military intelligence officer from 1963 to 1993, said that Iraqi insurgents average 70 attacks a day and that they “will continue regardless of whether the photos and tapes are released.” Pheneger said he believed that releasing the photos would lead to a thorough public examination of the administration’s decision to approve interrogation techniques that the Army had long prohibited. “The first step to abandoning practices that are repugnant to our laws and national ideals is to bring them into the sunshine and assign accountability,” he wrote. ‘The best evidence ... of what occurred’ Myers said his views about the pictures were supported by Gen. John P. Abizaid, head of the United States Central Command, and Gen. George W. Casey Jr., the commander of the American forces in Iraq. An investigation into the abuse depicted on the pictures continues, Myers said. “I condemn in the strongest terms the misconduct and abuse depicted in these images,” he said. “It was illegal, immoral and contrary to American values and character.” U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein, who will decide whether to release blacked-out versions of the pictures and videotapes, has said photographs “are the best evidence the public can have of what occurred” at the prison. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/8933164/ Anything good done and accomplished in this war, gone and wasted by such atrocities and is now prolonging it. |
