Castration. Imprisonment. 24/7 monitoring for the rest of his pathetic meaningless life. The only real punishment for these scumbags

These sort of crimes should give a mandatory life sentence.

The perpetrator is disgusting.
Keep an eye on your children.

I'm very sorry this happened to the child. The man is sick and should be imprisoned. Now, the next question in my mind is... how as a parent, does your child wander away without you knowing it? If the boy told his mother later in the day, it means the child wandered away, was molested, and then came back without the mother/father knowing?

At nine years old? They already can walk to and from school by themselves at that age. At a mall, a nine year old kid walking around by themself is not a strange thing at all.

"sexually assaulting a nine-year-old boy"
I'm sorry, I just can't understand why anyone would do this unless they were just completely insane.
"Police said surveillance camera footage in the shopping center shows Watanabe and the boy walking together toward the toilets."
Thank goodness for the surveillance camera, otherwise the guy probably would never have been caught.

Insane??? The man is not insane, he is an evil predator.
A painful punishment combined with execution is the correct response.

If you execute them, they will have an incentive to kill their victims. Dead kids can't talk.
