Nagasaki Prefecture won't appeal damages for sexually harassed U.S. teacher

Of course they will not appeal the court ruling. 500k yen is peanuts. And people are silent about it because it is an embarrassment to them. If the Kyoto sensei or Kocho sensei was not of them, they would be all over it. They would rather talk about a fantasy crime or gossip about something trivial than deal with the reality that there are many people like this in their midst.

Martin had sought 2 million yen in damages from the prefectural government.

Only 500000 yen, LOL !!..

Funny how demanding money can make a problem go away.

"We are extremely sorry that the woman suffered great emotional anguish," a prefectural official said.

Really. Well you can always top off the extra million and a half to show how extremely sorry you really are...

crickets crickets....

"We are extremely sorry that the woman suffered great emotional anguish," a prefectural official said.

God, this is so rude. She is just another nameless gaijin to this unnamed prefectural official.

50man is joke...silly joke

I don't 2 million was high enough. They should have gone for 20 million.

*don't think

There shouldn’t be any compensation since school has taken action on this incident. It’s like government is paying compensation for an individual wrongful behaviour even though school acted against it.
