Prosecutors sought prison terms of up to 12 years Wednesday for two U.S. sailors charged with raping and injuring a woman in her 20s in Okinawa last October.
In the pair's lay judge trial before the Naha District Court, prosecutors recommended a 12-year sentence for Seaman Christopher Browning, 24, and a 10-year sentence for Petty Officer 3rd Class Skyler Dozierwalker, 23.
Presiding Judge Hideyuki Suzuki is scheduled to rule Friday.
