The CPP pointed out that the US-Japan Status of Forces Agreement requires the US to surrender custody of accused American servicement the moment they are indicted, as in the case of the three US soldiers who perpetrated the rape of a 12-year old Okinawan girl in 1995.
Tinukoy ng PKP na inoobliga ng Status of Forces Agreement ng US-Japan ang US na isuko nito ang kustodiya ng akusadong sundalong Amerikano kapag may habla sa kanila, tulad ng kaso ng tatlong sundalo ng US na nanggahasa sa 12-taong gulang na batang babae sa Okinawa noong 1995.
