A man who brazenly assaulted a schoolgirl on one of the capital’s packed trains using a sextoy has been arrested.
The chikan, a 33-year-old man in charge of local sports facilities for youths, struck on Tokyo’s Yurakucho line one morning.
Approaching a high school girl, he began to assault her with an unspecified sex toy he had previously concealed in his trouser pocket, pressing it up against her skirt.
Fortunately, there happened to be a police officer nearby who noticed the crime, and subdued the perpetrator.
The chikan was charged under Tokyo’s anti-chikan ordinances, though oddly seems to have escaped charges of indecent assault. The municipal government which employs him also vowed to deal with him strictly.

Shocking as it may be, we have to wonder at the mentality of a girl who would not offer substantial resistance to this kind of ridiculous assault…
He avoided sexual assault charges? You’d think the use of sextoys would fall into that category. I’m just assuming that the line is where things stop being “invasive” and start getting “violating”, and sextoys definitely fall into “violating”.
– It is estimated that only 1% of all date rapes are reported to the police.
(Diana Russell, Sexual Exploitation: r♥♥e, Child Abuse and Workplace Harassment, California, 1984.)
– 93% of sexual assault survivors do not report to the police.
(Statistics Canada, The Daily. (Ottawa: Canadian Centre for Justice Statistics, November 18, 1993.)
– Of sexual assault survivors who do not report to the police, 44% state that it was because they were concerned about the attitudes of the police or courts toward this crime.

As these show, r♥♥e and the like are not reported even in Western countries so its not a matter of women of only Japan not taking action but in other places as well.
It happened to me too.
Normally I would have thought, that I’d resist and even do something nasty with the offender’s face or gentials or something.
That guy was taken a liking in me. I was sitting at the very end of the car. Everyone was facing mostly front, but no one in my direction. The guy had black hair, and he sat right next to me. He was just sitting there for a while. None, including me suspected anything.
Then he started.
At first I was surprised. Then, to my own largest surprise, I actually thought: “Well, he probably likes me.” That was my first thought, but that was the last calm one.
I do not remember that I was shocked or not, but I do remember, that my mind got almost overwhelmed with thoughts.
I have not ever experienced anything like this before, so I admit I was curious about the offender. What kind of man he could be. He seemed so odd. I was thinking about, ‘how such man would think’. ‘In which ways he thinks differently?’ ‘What made him like this?’ ‘How come he choose me?’ Does he doing it for fun, to humiliate me, to bully me, or he has some questionable sexual motives, or what the hell this is supposed to be?’ And so on..
Minutes were gone before I finally reached a conclusion to the question: “What to do now?, How to react?”. I decided, that he is doing something unwanted (by me, since he obviously wanted it).
I thought that touching his hand would not be a good idea, that would assure him, or make him pursue his presumably unknown goal just even more. Thus I tried to Move a bit. Did not work. Then I stud up, and sit just one seat left. People noticed I was moving, and some began to stare at the guy.
I bet they thought he must stink badly. Well actually he did have a strong perfume in him.
The point is, that even if I feel, that I’d kick him hard, when it actually happened to me, it was all the way different.
It was not in Japan, and I am not a girl, but still.
I wanna be pleased like this once pwease :3
I wish i could live in japan :'(
