Sex offender register is in order... If somebody decides to launch a signature campaign for this, please do inform me.

But then again, I doubt this will happen in the next 10 years atleast.

Sasaki was arrested after a DNA test on an item he left in the victim’s bedroom placed him at the scene of the crime. 

DNA on an item he left in the bedroom? Unless its a hat where they found some of his hair, his underwear with his "DNA" in it, used tissues he left, anything with his saliva (gum, a bottle, cup, cigarette, blood), then I'd understand this case. But as it is, to a forensics specialist, its vague!

I don’t get it. She should’ve screamed bloody murder at the top of her lungs while she was assaulted. Then they would’ve caught him red handed.

“He'd be facing 5-10 years in prison where I come from. It's very likely his punishment will be less than half of that in japan.”

Unless of course he went to the “right” school, in which case his punishment would be the order of the feather duster.

He'd be facing 5-10 years in prison where I come from. It's very likely his punishment will be less than half of that in japan.

All he has to do is change his family registry, last name, move to a different prefecture and he'll be free to start a new life, get a job and no-one would know what he did in the past. Just like that elementary school teacher who sexually molested or assaulted one of his elementary school students (can't remember exactly what he did).

Americans especially seem to confuse the two more and more. Sx assault includes groping, molesting, and hitting for gratification. Rpe is doing the deed (ie penetration) in any orifice. Trying to keep it PG for moderators sake, sorry. Both are despicable with same theme, but different actions. Like difference between robbery and burglary.

How'd they find him after the fact? Unless they're keeping a DNA database and just using that to look up where the guy lives.

He's obviously done it before.

This report seems to tie in well with my comment on the report about relaxed penalties for child sex offenders in Japan. Another sexual predator with an unhealthy sexual attraction to young girls. He'd be facing 5-10 years in prison where I come from. It's very likely his punishment will be less than half of that in japan.
