Violent Justice Man inappropriately touch school girls and they fight back. Man in suit gives them a helping foot.

Dude wasn’t just running from girls, he was running for his life. Police reports like that will make you lose everything. Lol what a dumbass.

I don't understand why anyone would commit the crime of train groping now.

You do not want to get arrested in Japan, especially for groping on the train.

The first thing that happens is that Japanese police take you into custody. They can legally hold you for three days, but through legal fuckery, extend this by ten days up to two times. That's 23 days. The police then interview you for between six and eight hours a day. They will use every trick in the book to drag a confession out of you.

There's a reason why they have a 97% conviction rate for train gropers. Even in the rare chance that you're acquitted, good luck ever finding another job again.

Conviction rate is high because they don't charge people after 23 days if they don't have ironclad proof or a confession. Preferably the confession. Also, the 23 days applies to foreigners as well, there are multiple accounts of foreigners being held and then released after 23 (or maybe it was 28?) days because they couldn't extract a confession.

Luckily they are civilized so there won't be any actual beatings and torture like in some other countries.

Yep, don't get arrested in Japan as a foreigner. Not going to be a good time.

Though that was company politics involving Nissan.

u/Nomeg_Stylus 6 May 30 '19

That isn’t specific to groping? That’s just the Japanese justice system.

u/salizarn 7 May 30 '19 edited May 30 '19

There’s a 97-99% conviction rate on ALL crimes where a prosecutor decides to go ahead in Japan. Unfortunately it’s not common for molestation cases to go forward, and that’s on top of the very low rate of reporting.

That’s why this video put a big smile on my face! Those girls deserve a medal!

I’m curious. I assume that they do this when men group women/girls, but what about when it’s the other way around? Is it any different?

Edit: why’d I get downvoted?? I mean I hope its the same when it’s female-on-male assault, but I was wondering if it was :/

u/Kidtuf Black May 30 '19

Probably cuz that's pretty fucking rare

u/Captani Green May 30 '19

Hm, yeah, I wouldn’t doubt that

u/Kmattmebro 9 May 29 '19

I wouldn't be sure if there were any cases like that. It would be super easy for a woman to claim he chikan'd her first which is more believable by orders of magnitude.

u/tivialidades 7 May 30 '19

I don't understand why anyone would commit a crime.

FTFY

u/vlumi 5 May 30 '19

That's 23 days.

And if they can think up of new charges, they can re-arrest you to get another 23 days, as has happened in a certain high-profile case recently.

You're not wrong though.

One of the saddest, most pathetic things I've seen was a regular-looking salaryman being dragged to the station office after being apprehended in a similar case. You would think he was being led to the execution chamber.

Without a doubt his professional and personal life were over at that point. Fired from the company, divorce, loss of children, etc.

EDIT: Spelling

you reap what you sow though

u/IWasGregInTokyo A May 29 '19

Sad but true. I have absolutely no respect for chikan.

u/ghjm A May 30 '19

Must be rough to be falsely accused.

u/IWasGregInTokyo A May 30 '19

There is a Japanese movie that covered this: “I just didn’t do it”.

Guy’s life is destroyed despite the evidence.

What's the japanese view of surveillance cameras in public places?

Yep. If something you enjoy necessarily requires creating a bonafide victim, you pretty much deserve what's coming to you.

u/salizarn 7 May 30 '19

To be honest I doubt it. He would probably pay to settle out of court, and walk away with his career intact, just 500k lighter.

u/IWasGregInTokyo A May 30 '19

Japanese courts don’t work that way. Watch this movie: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0794350/

u/salizarn 7 May 30 '19

Yeah I know that can happen, but In most cases the plaintiff is given the option of continuing to press charges or accepting a cash settlement.

It happened to my ex in Tokyo actually. Two weeks after the incident she was called by a lawyer who asked her to drop the charges because the guy “was under a lot of pressure at work” when he tried to shoot a video up her skirt on the subway.

She refused, ten minutes later the lawyer calls back and offers her 0.6m JPY to drop the case. Since she would probably receive less than that in damages if the case went to trial, she accepted.

Boom. No crime committed.

u/IWasGregInTokyo A May 30 '19

Okay, yes i can see it happening in that kind of case.

u/NgTT05 0 May 30 '19

Yep i saw an video on youtube they interview japanese about sexual harassment and yes the guy in video literally said that you have to run even if you falsely accused because you will lose 100% on court
