So, is the father going to take this into his own hands? I know I would if this was happening to my daughter. 💯🤙🏽
Sexual assault on 8 year old: 2 and a half years
Smoking marijuana: 20 years
Maybe it’s time to update the sentencing guidelines

He previously served 4 years in prison for the same shit, just multiple victims!
I read the article and remorse should hold ZERO weight in a case like this. The guy is a repeat offender of sexual crimes against a minor under 12 in addition to terroristic threats/intimidation.
In the US this is a crime looking at 25 year minimum with severe post-prison restrictions even in a lenient state. This guy isn’t even getting a tenth of that.
Pretty much every first-world country is going to give out a 5-year minimum for this guy and Japan can barely do half that. Many countries such as South Korea have overhauled their laws to require minimum sentences for indecent crimes against minors and Japan is long overdue for the same.
Why it’s either ruin lives for merely an accusation or letting actual rapists off easily. What happened to the law
A reminder about how patriarchal Japan is, …

It’s shocking how women in this country aren’t trying to leave in droves. I guess this is what happens when you’re well indoctrinated and culturally isolated from the outside world. Not saying crime is less outside of Japan, but a lot of other countries have stronger justice systems for these kinds of crime.
I’m sorry if I sound insensitive, i’m just shocked.
In America, sexual assault against minors is such a terrible that they shank the person in prison. The fact that this asshole only gets 2 and a half is sickening.
Japan has some messed up priorities. Or maybe they just devalue the lives a little girls and women.
There’s gotta be some way they can blame this on foreigners.
Crazy. Absolutely wild
It’s weird- given all the anime heroism you would think the men would be more protective of their women and children

ONLY 2 AND A HALF YEARS?!?!? WTF???
Remember – if you get caught with drugs in Japan, years imprison, public shaming, and essentially your career is over and you have to work your way back up.
Crimes against kids or women – probation/2 years/slap on the wrist and you can get rehired at. A school if you are a teacher or something
No country is great at protecting women – but holy hell, Japan is trying def doing a great job at competing for worst
but an American who gets into a fight with a Japnese in Okinawa get a seven year sentence
