Japanese journalist wins #MeToo rape case

A Japanese court has ordered a high-profile reporter to pay 3.3 million yen in damages to a journalist who accused him of rape.Prosecutors said there was not enough evidence for a criminal case, so Ms Ito brought a civil case.

"I'm so happy," said 30-year-old Ms Ito, who held up a sign which read"victory" after the verdict was announced.Image copyrightAccording to Ms Ito, 53-year-old Mr Yamaguchi - who is said to have close ties to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe - had in 2015 invited her to dinner to discuss a possible job opportunity.

Ms Ito said police forced her to re-enact the alleged rape with a life-sized doll while male officers looked on.As part of the investigation into my allegations, I was asked to come to the police station adjacent to the hotel I was taken to that night. The police refused. I was taken into the gym and told to lie on a mattress, and life-size mannequin was then produced and three male officers moved the doll on top of me, asking me intimate questions about exactly what happened and taking photographs.It was at this time, that I had to make the shift in my head from complainant to journalist.

The man who raped her has not been arrested or charged. Rapists should go to criminal trial.

Mr noriyuki yamaguchi has a big sister. His big sister is classmate and friend of Mrs akie abe. Mrs akie abe is the wife of Prime minister shinzo abe. PM shinzo abe is the friend of Mr noriyuki yamaguchi.

Mr yamaguchi and Relationship.

I have followed this case as I spent time working in Japan and have been horrified by this silent abuse that is allowed to go unchecked. This is a great day for miss ito and she has gone through hell to get this far. A brave a strong person we can all learn from well done !!!

$30.000 only? For 4 years of living with the fact and awaiting a trial? This is not even a years salary! Shiori Ito should receive way more in compensation for being violated. Perhaps she is glad it's over, but should appeal and bankrupt the criminal at the least! NHKWORLD_News

Acutually 99.99999% JAP is stupid and foolish.

Good for her, brave woman. Japanese culture likes to pretend that rape doesn't happen there, but (especially for a modern, wealthy country) Japan is still incredibly misogynist and oppressive. I hope that she's able to move on, and that other Japanese victims are inspired by her

BBC, How about posting the rapist pictures rather than the victim’s pics.

Good morning

Opinion: Our justice system is shirking difficult rape cases – and failing women in the processThe Crown Prosecution Service is dodging difficult cases in an effort to inflate conviction rates. This helps prosecutors, not victims too busy trying to destroy our country at the hands of the socialist Democrats. Brenda_Campbe11 Our justice system is broken and failing just about everybody at the moment; victim and defendants alike. Guilty walk free and innocents convicted. The only winners are the huge multi-national companies that the CJS is being sold off to, and who pay their taxes overseas.
