TOKYO -- An American Marine accused in an alleged gang rape of a Japanese woman last year was senten

ced to 600 days in prison Tuesday for "committing indecent acts" with a woman, but cleared of rape charges, the U.S. military said. A U.S. court-martial also found Gunnery Sgt. Jarvis D. Raynor, 35, guilty of larceny, "conspiracy to engage in indecent acts," violating military orders and adultery, according to a statement by the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni in southern Japan. His sentence includes a demotion in rank to private and a "Bad Conduct Discharge."

Raynor is the second Marine sentenced by a military court-martial for the alleged rape and robbery of a 20-year-old woman in the southern city of Hiroshima in October.
