They are in a relationship since April? So it seems that she really is his girlfriend.

When he asked her to have sex, she refused

...and that happens in a relationship.

Sometimes Sex is refused because of different circumstances.

But she is his Girlfriend, so there are many other days when he can have Sex with her.

It is completely stupid to put her under drugs and rape her.

But I guess, now, she is not his Girlfriend anymore.

Simple rule no means no.

And serious asking for sex is a turnoff.

Try to make it special and create an atmosphere. People really need to learn what a relationship is.

A girl always has the right to say no regardless of the relationship between the couple..

He probably would never see her again after the deed as he got what he wanted and actually rape is not sex, its violence. He was probably angry that she rejected his advancements and became the predator that he really is. Be careful here in Japan ladies. Be very careful.

Wow! Some idiots can't understand NO MEANS NO! She surely had her reason for not wanting to do it with you, yet you took it upon yourself to forcibly take it! I hope the same thing happens in your cell!

I wonder how many other women he raped like that, who weren't as brave as this one and didn't report it to the police.

Some stats say each rapist has at least 4 victims, with some even having more. Let's hope he's put away for a long time so he can't do this to anyone else.

But this is Japan, so yeah, let's hope he at least gets put on trial and doesn't buy his way out.

I’ve been drugged twice and almost raped. Apart from obvious psychological damage, the fear that I could of been given HIV or Hep has installed in me…never accept drinks from guys I don’t know, and always finish my drink before going to the bathroom. Nothing against gay guys, but reality is reality.

her case is slightly different, but she did meet him on a dating app…

Not sure about this particular case, but it's possible that they had been meeting only once every few weeks or so, and hadn't had intercourse yet. I personally know Japanese people who use dating apps and have "relationships" go on like this with multiple partners for months.

I can't imagine that any boyfriend would do this to his girlfriend in a proper, committed, or stable relationship, so my only way to process this is to assume that he only wanted one thing from her and decided to do this depraved act if /when he couldn't get his way.

He showed his true colors here.

Love doesn't have to have sex. Sex takes two, two to tangle/tango. And this tea spiking reeks of what Bill Cosby did to at least 63 women.

This creep is a disgusting predator. How many more did he this to? Scum!

He reportedly had no behavioral problems at work

I can't even imagine who could assess that in Japan. And there must be so many common traits in the Japanese workplace that would anywhere else be seen as a behavioural problem.

Horrible thing to happen, but very good to see these sicko rapists getting reported.

Clearly the man never heard of consent. No means no means NO. Toss this scum in jail and make sure he doesn't get out
