From Times Wire Reports
A U.S. Navy sailor was sentenced to more than five years in prison for sexually assaulting two girls while on shore leave in Australia.
Mark Anthony Campbell, 23, was sentenced in Perth District Court for assaulting the 12- and 13-year-olds in April at a hotel in the capital of Western Australia state.
Justice Kevin Hammond said Campbell--a married father of two whose hometown was not released--assaulted the girls after he gave them alcohol and that one girl collapsed in the street after leaving the hotel.
