Man arrested for using stun gun on ex-girlfriend, robbing her

Horrible experience for her, but at least this time the victim was able to survive relatively uninjured.

Stun gun? Where did he get that? I think they are illegal in Japan. If I could find one, I’d like to leave it with my wife when I’m traveling. Too many sickos around.

I’m glad for the lady, that it wasn’t worse.

As is often the case in Loophole Japan, this one falls into another legal grayzone. Possession of a non-sword/firearm weapon is not a crime, as long as there is a justifiable reason for having it on your person. Carrying a Louisville Slugger on the way to baseball practice is fine, but taking one to the bank is not.

Similarly, if your wife kept a stungun in the genkan, that would be perfectly acceptable, but carrying it around in broad daylight on the way to have tea & cake with Hanako? Perhaps not.

This is not a paid partnership.

Fukuchiyama is quite a horrible place, about 20 km from my previous abode. In that area they even have a few big supermarkets named Plant after the nearby Nuclear plants in Fukui, I kid you not my friends.

Not much goes on their at all and it’s rather a long way from any major cities, last time I went there were only two curry houses in the whole city.

Can catch trains to Kyoto or Osaka though, the Osaka line is the one that had that dreadful accident a while ago.

I hope the chap is punished in an appropriate manner considering the severity of the crime and the pain and anguish caused to his poor victim.

Verbal warning says it all.

> a 34-year-old man Yuki Kurokawa, whose occupation is unknown on suspicion of unlawful entry and robbery after he entered the house of his 33-year-old former girlfriend, used a stun gun on her and stole her money and smartphone.

another winner at life......

he had been issued a verbal warning to stay away from her

whoa, don't be TOO harsh on the loser......

The woman, who was not injured, used another smartphone to call 110.

ahhh, the scandalous women that have 2-3 phones. one for "themselves", one for "family" and one for "??????"

Thanks for the link Jay.

Pathetic coward loser.....

Send him to the Yakz !!!!...

A great many people have two phones - one for personal use and one provided by their employer. Hardly scandalous....

WTH was he thinking? How could he possibly imagine he would get away with it, as the victim could so easily identify him?

Having been lightly taxed, I can confirm that it is rather painful

Ah yes! The infamous "2nd phone" of "infidelity". (not saying its why she had a 2nd phone)

Police said the woman had consulted them about Kurokawa on numerous occasions since January and that he had been issued a verbal warning to stay away from her.

See, this is what I always talk about! You tell a child "Don't do ____!" WHat is the FIRST thing that child would do given the chance? You tell a Japanese obsessed stalker ex "Stop stalking her!" What do they do? Turn it up to the max! Sometimes we hear about it in the news after the stalked met a gruesome end. I believe that after a CAREFUL investigation and the stalker has been brought in, he/she must wear an electronic ankle bracelet for 2 years.That would cause less stress and depression to the stalked victim (man or woman).

most people with jobs are given a company phone. The average worker in japan has two phones for this reason so makes perfect sense. Or you know just didn’t get rid of the old one when buying a new one or you know the fact that this woman was attacked and robbed is the real problem not how many phones she had
