Three Japanese ex-soldiers convicted in landmark sexual assault case

By on December 12, 2023 0 24 Views

A Japanese court finds three ex-soldiers guilty of sexual assault against Rina Gonoi, their former subordinate in the Japan Self-Defense Forces. The court sentences them to two years in prison with a suspended sentence. Gonoi battled through the courts and social media to bring them to account. The case exposed a widespread culture of harassment in the military. The court ruling could allow the perpetrators to avoid jail time if they do not commit a crime over the next two years.
