Posted in: Teacher's conviction for groping girl on bus overturned by Tokyo court See in context
He was a teacher at my kids' school. Info on this while the process was ongoing was hard to come by. He was in limbo for three years, not able to work, on a reduced salary until the matter was finally settled. He persevered. Sometimes we saw him and his supporters in front of the local train station working to bring attention to this matter. I think there was support for him in the community, and it appears that the people close to him stayed loyal.
