the woman was seeking a multimillion dollar payout

much better to settle the case out of court and get the victim to sign an nda...

what happens in vegas, stays in vegas!!

she killed the newborn baby with a strong blow to the head...

ouch!!

as an office worker... i took tea ceremony lessons

i bet her male bosses are the onesmaking the tea for her now...

well done!!

apparently the name is laforet alexandre mathieu, and the charge has indeed been changed to manslaughter

not sure why this article does not mention it

because sometimes the name is wrong and before you know it there are riots against asylum-seekers...

and tourists!!

noel will bring his band mates from high-flying birds

liam's also got his own band but most oasis fan's would rather see guiggs playing the top string of the bass any day...

boris johnson was forced out of office in 2022 following (several) scandals...

scandal: an action that causes a public feeling of shock and strong moral disapproval

he ordered military chiefs to raid a dutch factory to steal covid vaccines from the european union

oh dear!!

man jumps from hotel balcony wearing only underwear as police come to arrest him

so ELEVEN officers had the hotel surrounded but now they've got to check street cctv to found out where he went...

in his pants!!

saw her... fell in love... wanted to have sex with her

sexual assault and rape are forms of sexual VIOLENCE. he didn't love her, he hated her.  he saw her, and hated her so much that he wanted to kill her.

so i suggest he be put in a place along with like-minded men, well away from women and children, for a very, very long time.

case closed!!

i took a pair of scissors out of a drawer and swung it at him...

not sure if she's going for a manslaughter plea or trying to get off claiming self-defence, but either way this looks to me like a clear case of...

murder!!

sano is accused of driving his kei-car into his father who suffered (only) a broken left ankle...

but the kei-car is a write-off!!

perverts get lucky all the time, try a door or a veranda a few dozen times until one is open and a victim inside

wrong! perverts and predators pick on people weaker than themselves. a pervert would not take the risk that there would be a man inside...

ready to claim self-defence!!

kanno told them he doesn't know the girl or her family

but he knew enough about them to know that the mother was out, the child was home alone with no father around, and a window would be left open.

perverts like this don't just get lucky...

he'd been stalking them for some time!!

he's free for four year and then is put in the slammer??

it means he gets the TWO-AND-A-HALF year prison sentence for the "heinous and extremely selfish" crime but he doesn't actually go to prison if he keeps out of for trouble for the next FOUR years.

however if he does anything wrong within those FOUR years, he goes to prison for the TWO-AND-A-HALF years plus whatever time for the new offence.

so yes, he paid a lot of blood-money to avoid prison...

for now!!

reached a settlement with his former partner

wow, how much did he need to pay to get away with that??

at least the new british-style dbs disclosure system will let everyone what he's like...

man arrested over death of girlfriend at his apartment had recently started living with her...

so it was the man's apartment and his girlfriend since 2021 (who wanted to get married before she was 25-years-old) recently moved in and started to take over. 

they had a row about the air-con and he beat her to death, leaving her to die in the hallway, and never even called an ambulance.

verdict? guilty!!

funabashi installed surveillance cameras in (the) apartment

it is not always stated, but it is safe to assume, that abuse like this is recorded and sold online...

for profit!!

physical punishment is not a valid form of discipline...

it's been illegal in japan for some time now, and all the little kids know it.

well done that boy!!

“the guns have fallen silent. the stars have aligned. the great wait is over. come see. it will not be televised...”

the 14-date tour of the uk and ireland in 2025 has just been announced.

apparently, this time around the revolution will not be televised...

demure she/he is not!

i think it was meant to be ironic, but the irony has been lost...

images of other women were found on his smartphone...

has he been sacked yet?

kono and his wife also have an older daughter who is living separately from the other three...

and won't ever be going back!!

adult services company or adult entertainment company, legal or otherwise...

whatever the name, the game stays the same

so can we expect a queue of complaints at the local koban from ladies called hitomi tanaka?

lock her up!!

the woman found an account with the same name as her, noticed that obscene images were being posted, and reported it to the police...

so if a woman has the same name as a porn-star, can she get the porn-star arrested now?

oh dear!!

it is because parental abduction is not considered a crime in japan that caused the problem in the first place.

if the child visited the non-custodial parent for the weekend but that parent did not return the child as expected, the japanese police would not intervene, and the japanese courts could do nothing about it.

in other countries it would be considered child-abduction and contempt of court, and said parent would expect jail-time.

so single custody was the solution rather than updating the law.

but not anymore!!

take responsibility for child-rearing expenses through joint custody and get face-to-face interactions of children and parents through visitation rights

pay a small fortune every month and get facetime / skype once in a blue moon...

be careful what you wish for!!

odd use of 'mere', any medal earned in the olympics or any major competition should be considered an honor well-deserved

the whole article sounds odd... almost as if written by ai

okada has denied the allegations, and is quoted as saying, "i did not commit any indecent acts"

indecent: "morally offensive, especially in a sexual way"

by denying the allegations what he is really saying is that what he did was not morally offensive.

so should he be locked away to reflect on his actions?

vote + for YES, vote - for NO

the house was home to five people

article doesn't mention who the fifth person is...

but i can guess!!

naruhito was due later to plant a cherry tree

hanami for future generations of japanese students...
