Prosecutors on Friday charged three ex-members of the Self-Defense Forces over the suspected sexual abuse of a colleague who is suing the government for failing to prevent the assaults, local media reported.

Friday’s move by the prosecutors in Fukushima Prefecture, where Gonoi was previously stationed, is a reversal of their initial conclusion not to prosecute.
