The wife of a U.S. Navy lieutenant who has been sentenced to three years in a Japanese prison after he was involved in a traffic accident that killed two people said she is doing everything she can to reunite her children with their father.

“This is really about my kids, while it is hard for us, the ones really paying the price for this and for the alliance and politics are my kids,” Brittany Alkonis, wife of Navy Lt. Ridge Alkonis, told Fox News Digital. “They are young and in the formative years of their life. They need a father.”
