Okinawa rape case: Japan court jails US sailors
Two US sailors have been sentenced to prison for the rape of a Japanese woman in Okinawa, in a case that has generated strong anti-American feeling.
The Naha district court handed Christopher Browning 10 years in jail and Skyler Dozierwalker nine years.
In his verdict, the judge said the men were "contemptible and violent".
The incident in October 2012 exacerbated resentment of the US military presence on the island and resulted in a curfew for US troops.
