                    [Summary] => A 22-year-old woman who has accused four US Marines of rape was set to keep testifying today after a breakdown delayed her return to the witness stand, prosecution lawyers said.


The Zamboanga native, whose court-assigned pseudonym is Nicole, on Thursday identified Lance Cpl. Daniel Smith as the US Marine who allegedly raped her on Nov. 1.


Before she could provide details of the alleged assault, she broke down, prompting the judge to adjourn the hearing until Friday.

A US Navy investigator testified for the prosecution on Monday but was barred from appearing again yesterday, the prosecutors said, and the judge in the trial ordered the embassy to explain why.


US Embassy officials could not immediately be reached for comment as to why the investigator failed to show up.

Security officer Tomas Corpus, the prosecution’s first witness, testified that he saw the woman intoxicated at the bar at the time she met one of the four Marines, Lance Cpl. Daniel Smith.


Another prosecution witness, Gerald Muyot, said he saw Smith carry the woman out to a van where the alleged sex crime occurred.
