Two U.S. sailors were given prison terms of nine and 10 years on Friday for raping and injuring a Japanese woman in her 20s in Okinawa in October.
A panel of three professional and six lay judges at the Naha District Court handed a 10-year prison sentence to Christopher Browning, 24, a U.S. Navy seaman, and a nine-year term to Skyler Dozierwalker, 23, a petty officer third class.
Prosecutors had sought 12 years for Browning and 10 years for Dozierwalker.
