Kinawa Rape News Today

A U.S. civilian employee at a Marine Corps base on Okinawa was sentenced to four years in prison with labor by a Japanese court Monday for attempted rape and unrelated theft convictions.

Rushane Joel McKoy, 25, of Chatan Town, was arrested in July after a local woman accused him of trying to force her to have sex in mid-April. The theft charge stems from a separate incident in August 2020, when he was accused of taking a shoulder bag containing 7,000 yen in cash.
