Uruguay's military says marines accused of sexually assaulting a Haitian boy while on a UN mission there are back on active duty and receiving full pay.
While a court has said that the alleged victim, Johnny Jean, has not testified, i an exclusive interview he told Al Jazeera that he had not been contacted by investigators looking into the case.
Lucia Newman reports from Montevideo, Uruguay.
What more proof do they need? the video with all the Uruguayan soldiers' faces was circulated all over Haiti and on the internet. This is RIDICULOUS!

@Bander WHAT DOES SEXUAL ORIENTATION HAS TO DO WITH THAT. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THEY WERE TRYING TO FORCE SEX ON THE TEENAGER WHEN HE PROBABLY HE DIDN"T WANT TO ( ACCORDING TO THE MEDIA) THE ACTION IS THE PROBLEM.
STRAIGHT MEN RAPE YOUNG GIRLS ALL THE TIME ,YOU NEVER HEAR BECAUSE YOU ARE STAIGHT.SEXUAL ORIENTATION HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT
SO IT SEEMS YOU ARE AN HOMOPHOBIC, BIGOT PERSON. CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK , EDUCATE YOURSELF BEFORE YOU THROW STUPID STUFFS LIKE THAT.

I think this is just the way of the soldier. Look at what the US does at it's bases in Indonesia; no one even gets upset about that. The most tragic part about soldiers raping civilians is the chance that it will lead to more soldiers.

Look at the history of Latin American soldiers. Look at how Latin American soldiers have treated their own poeple: rape, torture, mutilation, and murder. Should ANYONE be surprised that Latin American soldiers behave this way?

This is nationalism for you. It stinks. Uruguay is protecting it's criminal soldiers in the same way the US protects it's soldiers who have committed crimes in Iraq and elsewhere.

I think Uruguay should not be allowed to put trooops in the UN...
They are one of the worst quality armies in the world.
Case in point...in early 2000s, there was fighting in Eastern DRC...guess who ran first...the uruguayans.
