Glad to see that the US military seems to be cooperating with the investigation, at least.
The US military’s refusals in the past to hand over one of their own hurts their credibility and their soft power. No one is above the law, not even the military.

This soldier won’t see real repercussions for this. At worst he will he courmarshalled and get a dishonorable discharge and nothing else.
Uh… A court martial is typically equivalent to a felony. If you’re found guilty it’s often associated with prison time and civilian felony statuses.
This soldier is currently in Japanese custody, not American.
Typically getting court marshalled comes with time spent at Leavenworth
And how much time is that? Rape of a minor is something that can easily go into 5-10 years range in a civillian court in many countries.
Depending on what UCMJ articles he gets charged with typically 15-30 years
