Thankfully, she could escape with her life. There was no report of attempted sexual assault or, if cash or goods were stolen from the home. Wishing her a quick recovery.

Another helpless woman, alone in her own home at 4pm in the afternoon and never expecting to encounter a ‘robber’. Hopefully, police will work quickly to apprehend a suspect. In the meantime. maybe her Japanese healthcare will provide some additional mental health counseling & therapy to deal with imminent PTSD.

@snowymountainhell Why assume it was a Robbery? Why assume it was a sexual assault? I’m not saying I agree with what was done but have you ever thought about why this incident could have happened or what could the suspect and the victim involved have in common?

Not an assumption @kaimycahl 1:11am just based the @5:49 & :51pm comments on what was provided:

Police said the window of a room on the first floor of the two-story house had been smashed and police believe the intruder got in that way in an attempt to rob the house.” -

Sure, it is possible she may have known him and or doesn’t recall a previous encounter, like a repairman, etc that knew who/what could be inside the home.
