Hawaii woman charged with sexually assaulting Japanese student

Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done to prevent such occurrences. Some people's impurity takes deep roots and is only revealed when there is virtually nothing left to be done to prevent the crime. I am afraid even if state or secret service did have access to personal data and activity, they still might not have been unable to fathom the danger such people posses deep inside. And they can't look into their minds, not yet...

Of course there is a case of the student giving the female a good old dignity slap on the cheek and called for help/did another one to make sure the effect goes through. I'll not elaborate on why he did nothing of such, though...

@ Michael Jackson - found this on another site...

Shimizu is in the country on an E visa. If she is convicted she could be deported.

Appears to be Japanese, not Hawaiian.

Must have been very traumatic for him.

That sort of encounter will be difficult to forget and will live with him forever.

This stuff happens all the time. Glad to see no males here boasting that if it were them....because it wasn't. He is a kid and was afraid to tell, at least at first.

She's in Hawaii on a visa.

36-year-old Rika Shimizu 

That's definitely Japanese name. She is no doubt a Japanese ex-pat, but the Japanese media loves any chance they can get to defame any other country, especially Americans. The fact they left the 'n' off 'Hawaiian' points to an avoidance of her true nationality. Perhaps the headline should read, "Japanese woman in Hawaii...."

From educator's link above: "we want to make it crystal clear that this victim is a young Japanese person who came to Hawaii to study English and to learn the American culture. He has been greatly betrayed by this woman, injured by this woman, been traumatized by this experience, and he looks forward to the day where our American justice system would set forth the truth and punish the person who harmed, hurt, and injured him,” she (his lawyer, Micky Yamatani?) said.

No innocence until proven guilty in American justice then?

Sounds like a money grab to me.

The article above states that it happened 10 different times, which is odd for a rape. Why did he not report it earlier? I am suspecting the boy fell for her and she jilted him, resulting in the charges.

Nan Ferra, read Educator60's linked article above.

Why on Earth a bed-ridden student studying English would stay in USA in a house not his ? He needed hospital ! Shale to his parents if the knew.

Of course, no- excuse to that JAPANESE lady' s behaviour but again why no a slap on the face...? Why wait the 10th time ? He was 16 year old, not 12. Lack of info again as explanations would make it clear.

So far she is not proven guilty, as a reminder. Due justice to apply in court for truth.

Well, any Japanese medias have yet to officially report this case, though.

There are plenty of Japanese Named people in America. You cannot tell nationality by name. I still wonder why this kid at age 16 waited so long. Perhaps he thought it was acceptable at first and then it might have taken a step up the ladder of kinkiness that he did not forsee.

You cannot tell nationality by name

But the fact that she was in America on a visa would indicate that she’s not American.

Glad to see no males here boasting that if it were them...

It was tempting though! But you're right, we're all different.

Let's hope the kid doesn't get bullied/ridiculed when he gets back to school (and i mean it).

I went to university with 'Lica'/'Rica' and she dated one of my brothers friends- she is NOT FROM HAWAII. She is a Japanese person from Japan who moved to Hawaii. We are FB Friends where she says she is from Hilo but she was never born on the island. She went to Aoyama Gakuen University - she's from Shizuoka!!
