East Texas Sailor Sentenced to Prison

TOKYO — A court in Japan sentenced two American servicemen Friday to jail terms of respectively nine and 10 years for the rape of a Japanese woman in October 2012, while the men were on duty at a U.S. military base in Okinawa. According to KETK, the arrest of the Aviation Machinist’s Mate Airman Christopher Browning, Athens, Texas (pictured) and Aviation Electrician’s Mate Skyler Dozierwalker, both 23, prompted outraged reactions from Japanese officials and resulted in the imposition of a curfew by the U.S. military on its troops in Japan. They were both based in Fort Worth.
