Glad she's okay. This could have turned out much worse. Lock this sick bastard up until he's so old he has no more urges.

Imprisonment and castration, then be electronically monitored for the rest of his life. That's the only way to really send a message to these creeps

Can someone tell what kind of sentencing this type of suspect gets? Seems like we never hear about what happens unless murder is involved.

Japan definitely needs to create a national child sex offender's list on a public domain. If it were up to me, I would tattoo 'child sex offender' right across their forehead. That would be after cutting off their nads, of course.

Disillusioned: There was an NHK article about this recently. Someone mentioned that the government avoids creating a Western style sex offender's register for fear of offending the offenders' human rights. Obviously, I shouted "what about the children's human rights!?!?" at the screen.

For the millionth time - establish a sex offenders register.

If the government won't do it, someone (a private citizen) should aggregate news articles such as this one and make a database of their own. Just register the domain in Estonia or something and you're set. Protecting the human rights of the offenders ... please.
