		<description>I have heard from multiple sources that the girl was in fact a prostitute and he would not pay her thus she cried rape.  That is why the girl did not want to go through the embarassment of a Japanese trial because the police knew she was a prostitute as well. 

However the prosecution for the court martial probably could not prove he had sex with the girl without her testifying or any other evidence thus the reason for the sexual abuse conviction for touching her in a sexual way. 

If this girl was a prostitute then basically this guy got four years in jail, a dishonarable discharge which means if he was close to retirement is a huge loss, and then may have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life for basically a prostitution deal gone bad.  When you look at it that way this is actually a pretty stiff sentence.  

Do I feel sorry for him?  No way, this guy is a sleaze ball.  Maybe he didn't know the girl with 14 but still he had to know she was pretty darn young.  For 38 year old guy to go and mess around with a young teenager even if she was a prostitute is just asking for trouble and he got it.</description>

		<description>I can never understand the sentences under the UCMJ.  I don't have access to the evidence, but it seems on the surface he is getting off too light.</description>

		<description>"Hadnott admitted he had touched the victim’s underwear"

Sheesh!  He could have just bought some used schoolgirl underwear from a vending machine and saved all the hassle.

Or... he could have gone to the fish market, bought an octopus and gotten his tentacle pr0n freak on... or a squid if he could have handled 20 percent more tentacle...

...and, when he was done, unlike the schoolgirl, there would have been no shame in eating the evidence.</description>

		<description>He was a dipsh1t,
 He didn't want to pay her and she called him out and said he raped her. He could have just paid her as he promised and this would never have happened. 

I guess while he is in jail for four years he can think about a cost benefit analisis of what he did. A lesson to all, if you promise to pay a hooker, then pay up.</description>

		<description>Isn't it obvious what happened here?  The man was weak and fell victim to the onslaught of schoolgirl porn that's widely available in Japan.  The Japanese have built an entire subculture in their porn industry devoted to the schoolgirl and how it's so fun to rape and torture them.  If this guy had a weak mind it would be very easy for him to fall into this fantasy world as well.</description>
