Police in Tokyo have arrested a 24-year-old man on suspicion of sexually assaulting a junior high school girl after he lured her to a park toilet by threatening her on social media.
According to police, the incident occurred in January, Sankei Shimbun reported Friday. Police said Tomoki Obuchi, of no fixed occupation, contacted the girl on a social media site. He said that if she didn’t meet him at a park in Adachi Ward, he would post photos of naked young girls to her friends and say the pictures were of her.
Police said the girl met Obuchi at the park and that he sexually assaulted her in the toilet. They said he has admitted to the charge.
Police said an examination of Obuchi’s smartphone revealed several images of naked girls.

Using the internet to groom minors is an extremely serious offense in Australia and carries a minimum jail term of seven years.

Its a cultural illness that goes back centuries.

I truly hope that the police that "examine" these photos are female. I understand why some women don't go to the police over certain incidences like perverts taking upskirt photos because how does one know that these male police officers aren't taking long looks at the photos.

When the system FAILS rape and sexual assault victims, when predators are let out of jail after 6 or 8 months, when victimized little boys and girls are taught to keep quiet, this is what you get.
Japan needs to take a second and harder look at it's justice system and start applying tougher penalties.
If someone is convicted of rape or sexually assault they could face up to 10 to 30 years in prison and in some countries are put to death.
wtfjapan?
Many people ask why so many J men are obsessed with young girls. I have a theory. It has to do with the majority of the Japanese population not allowed to have a relationship during Junior High and High School. They might feel like they've "missed out" on those experiences. Also, because the majority of Japanese men are shy, only the few "bad boys" who have all the confidence, get all the girls. In other words, the majority of the population in Japan is sexually frustrated/deprived (especially males). Solution: 1. Allow students to date 2. Teach boys and girls on how to date and be confident. 3 Learn about safe sex and contraception.

Start executing convicted child molesters and rapists and eventually the problem will be resolved.

Japan still very much needs National Sex Offender Database. The NPA could start with something simple and built from there, maybe like this:
Suspect: “Obuchi Tomiki”; Age: 24; Occup: no fixed work; Incident: Jan ‘21; location: local park, Adachi ward, Tokyo: M.O./Allegations: SNS Threats, Extortion, Sexual Assault on a child, possession of child pornography with intent to distribute; Charges/Status: currently held iaw ongoing investigation, possible supplemental charges; Disposition: awaiting adjudication - Sat, Jul 3, ‘21.

It seems like a no-brainer to consult with the police and have them stake the place out.

What a gross guy.

I’m all about “respecting other cultures”, but when those cultures portray teenage girls the way they do, it’s not exactly a surprise when you get adult men who still have the mental maturity of a twelve-year old.
