A U.S. Marine accused of raping a 19-year-old Japanese woman last year was found guilty of "committing wrongful sexual contact and indecent acts," the U.S. military said.
The woman testified Thursday that she had been drinking alcohol and after 20 to 30 minutes of conversation with Braswell, the two left the club to have sex in a vehicle.
The three other Marines entered the vehicle while the couple were engaged in sex and began touching the woman’s naked body, she said.
They drove her to a nearby parking lot and raped her “at least five times,” she said.
“I was deceived by Sgt. Braswell,” the woman said through an interpreter. “I was so scared.”
The men threw her shoes and purse out of the vehicle and drove away, the woman testified. She said she discovered 12,500 yen missing from her purse.
“Someone pushed me out of the car. What I remember is they were laughing at me,” she said.
Police encountered the woman wandering the neighborhood lost and disheveled, according to court records. Prosecutors showed security camera footage from a convenience store that appeared to show the woman crying and shouting.
The sentencing hearing for Lance Cpl. Larry A. Dean, 20, is scheduled to begin on Friday May 9, 2008..
Dean is among four Marines under court-martial in the case. The others are Sgt. Lanaeus J. Braswell, 25; Gunnery Sgt. Carl M. Anderson, 39; and Gunnery Sgt. Jarvis D. Raynor, 34, the military said.
Local media reported that the four men met the woman in a restaurant in Hiroshima, Japan on October 14, 2007, then allegedly attacked and raped her in a car in nearby parking lot.
Dean also was found guilty of conspiracy to commit indecent acts and two minor charges.
