US troops' Iraq rape victim 'was girl of 14' FIVE US soldiers were charged in a rape and multiple murder case that has outraged Iraqis, as evidence emerged that the rape victim was only 14, not over 20 as US officials had said. Days after a former private, Steven Green, was charged as a civilian in a US court with rape and four murders, four serving soldiers were charged with the same offences. Another soldier was charged on Saturday with dereliction of duty for not reporting the crime in March. All five were charged with conspiring with Green who is accused of killing a couple and their two daughters. Court documents gave the raped daughter's estimated age as 25, though US military officials in Iraq say their documents have her as 20. Her identity card and death certificate, however, show she was 14. Local officials and relatives had said she was 15 or 16. --------------------------------------------------- Prison Planet.tv: The Premier Multimedia Subscription Package: Download and Share the Truth!
