(CBS/AP)  Two U.S. Marines were sentenced to prison time Friday on charges related to sexual assaults on two different young women in Japan, but both men have avoided rape convictions.

Kyodo News reported that a U.S. court-martial had sentenced Staff Sgt. Tyrone L. Hadnott to four years after convicting him of abusive sexual conduct with a Japanese teenager in Okinawa, in southern Japan.

Four other charges, including rape of a child under 16, making a false official statement, adultery and "kidnapping through inveigling," or trickery, were dropped in a plea bargain, according to Kyodo.

Another U.S. Marine accused in the alleged gang rape of a Japanese woman last year was sentenced to two years in prison for "wrongful sexual contact and indecent acts" but cleared of rape, the U.S. military said.

Lance Cpl. Larry A. Dean, 20, was one of four Marines facing court-martial for the alleged rape of a 19-year-old woman in the southern city of Hiroshima in October.

Dean was also found guilty Thursday of "fraternization and violating military orders about liberty and alcohol" but cleared of rape and kidnapping charges, according to a statement by the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni in southern Japan.

Dean was also dishonorably discharged. His sentence also included the forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and a reduction in rank to private.

The other Marines charged are Gunnery Sgt. Carl M. Anderson, 39, Gunnery Sgt. Jarvis D. Raynor, 34, and Sgt. Lanaeus J. Braswell, 25. Anderson and Raynor will be court-martialed later this month and Braswell in June, said Master Gunnery Sgt. John Cordero on Friday.

Japanese authorities investigated the incident, but local prosecutors dropped the case in November.

About 50,000 U.S. troops are based in Japan under a security pact between the two countries. Many Japanese complain of crime, pollution and noise associated with the bases.

Japanese anger over the U.S. military presence has grown in recent months following the Hadnott case and the killing of a taxi driver near a U.S. naval base in Yokosuka, south of Tokyo.

There is crime in Thailand but i walk the streets day and nigh and have never seen any or been a victim. Also the police have really been cracking on pedophiles and anyone with porn on their computers so they are doing a great job here. I commend them.I foud a great jewelry store called the gemstone that has quality products, can make anything you want and gives great prices.When i leave i will miss this country, the people, and its culture. I hope o return many more times.

If you want a great vacation i highly recommend Thailand. A lot of Thai people speak some english so gettign around isn'' a problem. They shot the James Bond movie here "The Man With The Golden Gun ", at Phuket beach. It is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. What it cost to fly here you can make up in savigs by the cost of living here. I also get great prices on Jewlelry here from a very nice jewelry store. There are thre provinces in th south where they are having problems wih terrorists so i wouldn''t rccomend going there but everywhere elese in Thailand is very safe. It requires a lot of immunizatiions to come here but Malaria is only found in very rremote locations. There are streams with waterfalls, orchids growing in the wild. It is paradise.

People in the states do not realize the beauty of things in Thailand. The people are friendly, and there are many things to see and do. I can take a two hour river cruise at night and have dinner on he cruise. The last time we went there were four of us and it cost me like $20 for everything. The Thai people are very hard workers and it is a struggle for many to make a living with the economy he way it is. Ther ar modern temples and ruins to see. The monks come around the shops of a morning and the shop keepers ive them food for the day. It is considered an honor to give to the monks. They lead a poor and simple life but lead by example. There are temple ruins you can see go on elephant rides. A lot of the elephant owners are out of work now and it is costly to feed an elephant so they bring them to the neighborhoods and sell bags of sugarcane to let the people feed the elephants. It is a great experience. I have been to a monastery where they let the wild animals come and go as they please and had my picture taken sitting on a rock with two full grown bengal tigers. The budhist teach we can live in harmony with all things. I went to a village that worships king cobra''s and got to hold a ten foot long king cobra without controlling his head, he as totally docile. I guess this phylosophy applies to animals more than people. (continued)

Yes wih me in Thailand and Msgt Steve in the states we can really arrane to meet so we can go molest litle children. I think yoiur jealous because i am in a country where Americans are known to come to have *** with children. Let me enlighten you. The local police have been cracking down fo several months here, catching pedophiles, and even arresting people who have porn on their computers. They have been doing an outstanding job and i am proud to say they have been very successful in catching these perverts. Why don''t you come for a visit, i am sure they can find room for you in one of their prisons.

I think that is another reason thy plea bargained the case. They didn''t want to serve time in a Japanese prison.

Did you ever meet anyone you didn''t think was a pedophile ? You must have been raped repeatedly as a child o be as warped as you are. One would think you would enjoy it by now, or maybe you miss not having it done since you grew into adulthood and noone wants you anymore.

I''ll keep this simple for you ***
The French left Vietnam under the terms of the 1954 Geneva Accords - they did not surrender to the

Those Geneva Accords called for elections in both the southern and Northern parts of Vietnam

With the encouragement of the bald D1ckhead Eisenhower, the southe REFUSED to conduct the election and hence the revolt against the puppet US south vietnam govt began

The bald d!ckhead then sent US troops (calling them "advisers") to help murder (and in the case of kids rape and murder) the South vietnamese who refused to support the US puppet

The Vietnamese resistance fought agains t the paedophilic rapist US troops

Hence as I said, US troops and US involvement in the Vietnam mess was begun by the bald pervert Dwight D1ckhead Eisenhower. It was the same perverted ******** who laid the foundations for the rise of Islamist in Iran by toppling the Democratically elected govt to install the sha because he and his pervert buddies the Dulles boys wanted videos of kids being raped and tortured to jack off over

I wil try to keep this simple so i don''t lose you. The french surrendered to the Americans in 1954. The first American soldier was actually killed in 1954. Kennedy was responsible fior the big build up of fighting troops, right before he was killed. I am still waiting dog breath, where will you meet me. Or are you afraid this old fat *** will kill you ?

Gawd- on top of beig a paedophile defending POS you''re dumb as well

So do explain ole paedophile defender how it is that the first US soldier to die in the Vietnam conflict did so in 1958....BEFORE JFK even won the nomination of the Democratic party let alone won the Presidential elections let alone took the oath of office

tough talk Cletus - you and your pissant paedophile defending bubbas of the US paedophile army would be best advised to stick to guzzling moonshine and *** your siblings (long as they''re NOT under age of course)

I notice that you still insist that the Us military did nothing wrong in raping and mudering kids in Iraq - proof positive of what I said about the US military being paedophiles and / or paedophile defenders
