I have been following this case for the past 18 months or so. I have been living in Japan for 5 years. What a screwed up place...with respect to the treatment of women. A G8 country with women designated as 3rd class citizens. People treat there dogs better sometimes. Yep, it is friggin' unbelieveable but it happens all the time. Most of the time they get probation only. This was a famous case, so they got "harsh" sentences.
Most women are taught not to speak out, they have to provide babies, stay at home, cook, clean, take care of the kids while the husband has a Filipino hostess on the side.
If the women have a job and get pregnant...they are fired. No maternity leave. That's it...you stay home for the rest of your life. I read recently that in these tough economic times...Japan has a valuable resource that they don't want to use...educated women. They get half the salary for the same job as a man because the company expects them to get married, have babies and leave. Jeez...what a place. I could write a book about all the backwards ass stuff that goes on here.
Anyhow, if that was my daughter they raped...you can be sure I would be waiting outside the prison gate when those assholes got out.
