After a lengthy preliminary investigation, prosecutors concluded that US
servicemen Daniel Smith, Keith Silkwood, Dominic Duplantis and Chad
Carpentier had conspired to commit rape when they assaulted the woman in a
van in Subic Bay on Nov. 1.
The van?s driver, Timoteo Soriano, was charged as an accomplice.
Two other marines initially named as suspects - Albert Lara and Corey
Barris ? were cleared after evidence indicated that they were not in the
van during the alleged incident, prosecutors said.
?We expect the warrants of arrest to be issued as early as next week,?
prosecutor Raymond Viray said.
?The case is strong. There is evidence. Conviction hinges on the
credibility of the victim, and we are banking on that.
?They took advantage of the victim?s intoxication, who they later abused
using superior strength.?
Copies of the resolution filed by prosecutors said the woman first met the
marines at a Subic Bay nightclub

As a woman myself, I am very pleased with the development of the case.
The truth has come out. The culprits are already charged for their sins
and it'll only take a while before the warrant of arrest be issued to each
of them. This is a good start. Justice will always prevail and it won't
be picky on casting its punishment/decision.
