NAHA — Police in Okinawa Prefecture arrested a 38-year-old U.S. Marine on Monday on suspicion of raping a 14-year-old local girl. The suspect, Tyrone Hadnott, a staff sergeant who belongs to the Camp Courtney base, has denied raping the girl, saying he only got on top of her and kissed her, police said.
According to nvestigators, Hadnott is suspected of raping the girl inside a car parked on a street in the town of Chatan around 10:30 p.m. Sunday.
The Marine and the girl allegedly met about two hours earlier in the city of Okinawa, when he talked to the girl and two of her friends.
She agreed to ride on Hadnott's motorbike with him because she thought he would give her a ride home, according to police.
But the suspect took her to his house and tried to kiss her, they said. When the girl started crying, the serviceman told her he would take her to her home in his car, and the two got into his vehicle.
After the girl left her friends, they called her mobile phone several times, the investigators said. They made an emergency call to the police around 10:20 p.m. after the girl replied "Help me" and hung up the phone.
Hadnott was arrested early Monday after he was found inside his car in front of his house.
