Three US Marines punished 'over involvement with Brazilian prostitute'
THREE US Marines and a State Department employee were punished over their involvement with a Brazilian prostitute in December, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said.
Four US Marines based in southwest Japan have been charged with raping a Japanese woman last October, a US military spokesman said on Friday, days after the arrest of another Marine for suspected rape of a schoolgirl on the southern island of Okinawa.
