Ex-chief Osaka public prosecutor pleads guilty to raping female subordinate

Kentaro Kitagawa, a 65-year-old lawyer

Nope - not a lawyer anymore. Just a rapist piece of trash.

She was told he "would die if (the rape) was made public, which would inconvenience other prosecutors," she said.

Well, hopefully he does die in prison. Lock him up with some of the men he prosecuted.

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of sentence he gets.

I bet it’s ridiculously lenient.

Obviously this guy knows the game and knows that if he pleads guilty and shows remorse he will receive a much lighter sentence.

Which is BS.

What kind of dark forces led to this man acting in this vile and demonic way. Where I come from men like him are locked up in prison and called beasts. They have to be segregated and live in fear of attack from other inmates while the prison officers turn a blind eye.

What kind of dark forces led to this man acting in this vile and demonic way?

No doubt the same entitled and psychopathic ones that guide him in his day job.

Kitagawa, who was the chief public prosecutor at the time, ignored the woman's pleas to stop assaulting her when she regained consciousness, telling her, "You are my woman now," the Osaka High Public Prosecutors Office said.

He raped her late that night until the early hours of the next day, according to the indictment and prosecutors.

That's straight out of a manga and should've been the end of

was made public, which would inconvenience other prosecutors,

Well. we wouldn't want that would we.

Or would we?

prosecutors are criminals... Welcome to Japan!!

should he get the death penalty?!...

Some folk here would hang people from “the gallows” for stealing a packet of biscuits Indigo.

She was told he "would die if (the rape) was made public, 

welp.

fingers crossed, let's hope he was right

The sex drive is a merciless double-edged sword that will always cut down frail humanity, so powerful is the procreation instinct. In contrast, the law is a puny force and offers poor protection to the victims of Nature's will. Still, it is to be hoped that Kitagawa is made to pay dearly with adequate compensation to the victim of his abuse.

2018???? What the heck took so long?

He might have to be given special internment because it is not going to end up good for him.

I hope I’m wrong but you can see a suspended sentence being handed down by his old judge friend.

What an idiot. How can men, not so young anymore, in such a good position be so stupid and ruin their life? What is his status, is he married, has he children, even grandchildren? For sure he is not a poor man and if he needs sex he can call a hostess of his choice to a love-hotel anytime and nobody says a word about it.

At US Reamer.

People shouldn’t be able to buy their way out of trouble through paying compensation like you suggest, however wealthy they are they should face serious jail time for a crime like this.

@ Stewart Gale

I've no objection to a reasonable amount of jail time on top of monetary compensation.

Sure, pay money and do time.

But you shouldn’t get reduced jail time because you pay money as well, otherwise you’re just telling rich people they can behave as they like and they’re above the law.
