soilers in rape case,

SU.S., Japan now
conducting a review of
U.S. military presence
in Okinawa
The Washington Post
TOKYO-Japanese prosecutors asked
yesterday for 10-year prison sentences,
with forced labor, for each of three U.S.
servicemen accused of raping a 12-year-
old Okinawan schoolgirl in September.
Those sentences are about twice as
long as the average sentence for rape
in Japan, which is three to five years.
Prosecutors in Okinawa had been ex-
pected to ask for stiff sentences in light
of the victim's age and the violent
nature of the crime - and perhaps the
international furor caused by the case.
The request came the same day that a
U.S. Marine was sentenced in Naha,
Okinawa, to 11 years in prison for the
bludgeoning death of an Okinawan
woman., Pfc. Joshua Hill of Young-
stown, Ohio, could have faced life in
prison, but prosecutors chose not to
seek the maximum sentence, which
usually is reserved for multiple or ex-
tremely heinous murders, the Associ-
ated Press reported.
No clear motive for the crime was
ever established. The defense claimed
that Hill was mentally unstable and
became angry after an argument with
the victim. Hill admitted that he hit the
woman several times in the head but
said he did not intend to kill her. The
prosecution has alleged that Hill has
shown no remorse and could kill again.
The abduction and rape of the school-

girl caused a massive public outcry in
Okinawa, which hosts the majority of
the 47,000 U.S. troops stationed in Ja-
pan. President Clinton apologized for
the incident, and the two countries are
now conducting a delicate review ofthe
U.S. military presence in Okinawa. Both
countries are hoping to have the issue
resolved before Clinton comes to To-
kyo in April for a state visit.
All three servicemen have pleaded
guilty to conspiring in the girl's ab-
duction, although only one, Navy Sea-
man Marcus Gill, 23, of Woodville,
Texas, has admitted raping her. Ma-
rine Pvts. Kendrick Ledet, 20, of
Waycross, Ga., and Rodrico Harp, 21,
of Griffin, Ga., deny raping the girl.
Under Japanese law, conspiracy to
commit a crime can carry the same
penalty as committing it.
The three-judge panel considering
the case is expected to issue a verdict
next month. The Japanesejudicial sys-
tem has a nearly 100-percent convic-
tion rate.
Sentences for the three Americans
would include labor in prison, which is
an integral part of the Japanese penal
system. Almost all inmates work eight
hours a day in prison factories, making
leather, metal or paper products.
Also yesterday, Japanese media re-
ported that the victim's father had re-
jected an offer of about $9,000 in com-
pensationfrom the accused servicemen.
On Dec. 29, the three men paid the
victim's family about $6,000, which
was to be the first of two payments
totaling $15,000. But the victim's fa-
ther reportedly decided not to accept
any more money from the accused men.

Los :Vgeles Times
TOKYO South Korean prosecu-
tors yesterday sought jail terms ranging
from ayearto I 0years for nine business
leaders and five former political aides
who are co-defendants in the corrup-
tion trial of former President Roh Tae
Woo.
Prosecutors demanded a four-year
sentence for Daewoo Group Chairman
Kim Woo Choong, accused of giving
Roh S19 million in bribes, and a three-
year sentence for Samsung Group Chair-
man Lee Kun lee, who allegedly gave
the former president bribes of S12.6
million. Samsung and Daewoo are two
of South Korea's biggest conglomer-
ates, accounting for a significant por-
tion of the nation's exports.
"This case clearly shows the collu-
sion of power and business under past
regimes," a prosecutor told the court.
"In orderto eli minate these wrong prac-
tices, heavy punishment is inevitable.
To demonstrate that all are equal before
the law, former presidents and business
leaders should be punished if they vio-
late the law."
A panel of judges hearing the case
has yet to rule on the defendants' guilt
or innocence, and their decision on sen-
tencing could still be many months
away.
Despite the severity of the recom-
mended punishment, the belief remains
widespread in Seoul that most, if not
all, of the business tycoons will receive
suspended sentences, partly to ensure
that there not be any serious economic
fallout from the trial.

viewpoint, a spokesperson for Presi-
dent Kim Young Sam announced late
last week that the president will host a-
dinner meeting Thrusday for the chair-
men of the nation's 30 largest business
conglomerates, which would include
Samsung's Lee, Daewoo's Kim and
several other defendants.
The purpose of the meeting, presi-
dential spokesperson Yoon Yeo Joon
said, was to offer encouragement to the
business community, which he said had
been dispirited in Kim's drive to "right
the wrongs of history" by taking action
against the misdeeds of his predeces-
sors. While President Kim has previ-
ously had luncheon meetings with these
business leaders, this will be the first
time since he took office three years.
ago that he has invited them to dinner.
Business groups are expected to use
the occasion of the dinner to report to
the president on plans to give more help
to small and medium-size firms through
such measures as improved payment
terms.
Roh publicly confessed in October to
having accumulated a $653 million
slush fund during his 1988-1993 term
in office, and the business-tycoon de-
fendants acknowledged in court that
they gave him money. Roh insists the
funds were political donations; the busi-
ness leaders have argued that they were
a form of taxation
"The defendants say the provision of
money was unavoidable, but they will-
fully corrupted public servants to ben-
efit themselves and win favors," pros-.
ecutor Moon Yong Ho charged yester-
day.

Mexico sells bonds to
help repay U.S. loans

Ios Angeles Times
MEXICO CITY -_- The Mexican gov-
ernment won praise yesterday from
American officials and guarded reaction
from independent analysts as Mexico
made a $1.3 billion repayment on its
$12.5 billion in U.S. loans, largely by
going to international markets to restruc-
ture its debt.
Mexico came up with more than $1
billion of its U.S. repayment through a
recent sale ofMexican government bonds,
mostly to German investors, officials ex-

ment bonds offered through J.P. Morgan
and Merrill Lynch to raise money for
other obligations coming due this year.
Those bonds will mature in five years
with interest rates that will be set today.
"This is the beginning of a constant
restructuring," said Mexico's Central"
Bank spokesman Eduardo Turrent, de-
fining a process that won praise from
some independent economists and criti-
cism from others. "This is the first step in-
establishing the process of using credit,
and navin, it back."
