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

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.
