Wednesday, 10 October 2007
OKINAWA, Okinawa -- The son of a U.S. Air Force captain stationed at Kadena Air Base has been arrested for bashing and raping a young Japanese woman, police said.
Kevin Parks, 21, an unemployed dependant living on Kadena, was arrested for rape resulting in injury.
Police said the American admits to the allegations.
Police said Parks was in a bar in the city of Okinawa early on the morning of Oct. 1 when he smashed a 22-year-old waitress in the face with a beer bottle so she couldn't resist him as he raped her.
Witness reports led Okinawa Prefectural Police to Kadena and they asked the American to come in for questioning on Tuesday. He admitted to the allegations and was arrested, police said. He had apparently originally been planning to return to the United States on Wednesday.
