Outside an Okinawa Club, a Woman Reported Being Grabbed. MSC Still Had Not Acted When NCIS Closed the Case.

NCIS records say a woman reported that a civilian man connected to Military Sealift Command Pacific grabbed her hips and breasts outside The Surfside Club at Camp Kinser, and a witness said he saw the man grab her breast. The base magistrate's office took no action, and Military Sealift Command still had the matter under review when NCIS closed the case.

What the NCIS File Says

A woman reported that a civilian man connected to Military Sealift Command Pacific grabbed her hips and breasts over her clothes while she was seated at a picnic table outside The Surfside Club at Camp Kinser, Okinawa. The file says she immediately reported the incident to Surfside security.

NCIS interviewed the reporting person, the accused, and witnesses. One witness said he saw the accused approach her and grab her breast with one hand. The accused denied inappropriate contact, and the report notes that both the reporting person and the accused had consumed alcohol.

The Command Magistrate's Office at Marine Corps Base Camp Butler told NCIS that no action would be taken. Military Sealift Command had not taken action by April 2014 and told NCIS the matter remained under review, with any later action to be reported by supplemental report.
