A U.S. Forces Korea soldier was recently arrested on charges of raping two women and the attempted rape of a third, numerous South Korean media reported Tuesday.

Spokespeople from USFK and the Seoul prosecutor’s office could not be reached late Tuesday to confirm the stories.

The soldier was identified in the reports as a 23-year-old but was not identified by name. Some reports said he was Korean-American.

According to the reports, the soldier allegedly raped a 21-year-old South Korean woman at 4 a.m. on June 14 in Dongducheon, then beat her and took her cell phone so she could not call police.

Police collected DNA from the attacker’s semen, but the woman said she didn’t clearly remember what he looked like because it was dark and she was traumatized from the attack.
