According to the soldier, the sex was consensual, and he denies that he raped the woman.
This isn’t the first time a US servicemember has faced sexual assault charges in recent years. In February, a US Army soldier was accused of assaulting a Korean-Canadian woman he met through a phone-chat application, eventually meeting her for a drink in Busan while he was on leave. The woman said the soldier, assigned to the 2nd Infantry Division at Camp Humphreys, raped her after taking her to a guesthouse. He denied the charges.
US Army Pfc. Kevin Lee Flippin was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2011 for breaking into the home of an 18-year-old Korean and raping her in a "sadistic fashion" numerous times.
