A 19 year old US Marine stationed at the Futemma Air Station in Ginowan was arrested on suspicion of breaking into a home in the city of Okinawa and molesting a 14 year old junior high school girl while she was sleeping.  According to this Newsday article, the US is considering restrictions on US military personal in the aftermath of the allegation.  When US servicemen in Okinawa raped a school girl in 1995, a late-night curfew was imposed on US soldiers at bases in the southwestern Japanese perfecture.
