A man has tried to excuse himself from the heinous crime of corrupting a 12-year-old elementary school girl by claiming that he thought she was 13.
The 46-year-old Nagoya man was arrested over another matter, but police found nude pictures of a young girl when searching his phone, leading them to suspect him of statutory rape, as under Japanese law, an adult having sex with a child under 13 is automatically classified as rape, but sex with a girl who is 13 or older may result in a lesser charge if it is deemed to have been consensual.
According to article 177 of the Japanese penal code:
A person who, through assault or intimidation, forcibly commits sexual intercourse with a female of not less than thirteen years of age commits the crimeof violation and shall be punished by imprisonment with work for a definite term of not less than 3 years. The same shall apply to a person who commits sexual intercourse with a female under thirteen years of age.
It is perhaps notable that sex with a male under the age of 13 is a less serious crime.
The man claimed to have met the girl on an unspecified “online video platform”, and added that he believed her to be 13 years of age. Seeing as acts of fornication with children between 13 and 17 are still illegal in most cases, it is likely that the man will receive some kind of criminal charge regardless of whether police or the courts believe him to have been ignorant of her age.
r♥♥e is bad. But statutory r♥♥e is such a retarded invention.
It’s the “we can’t get you for r♥♥e, but will do so anyway” clause.
The criminal offense of statutory r♥♥e is committed when an adult sexually penetrates a person who, under the law, is incapable of consenting to sex. Minors and physically and mentally incapacitated persons are deemed incapable of consenting to sex under r♥♥e statutes in all 50 US states, and most developed nations, including Japan. These persons are considered deserving of special protection because they are especially vulnerable due to their youth or condition.
And that´s the problem.
The only one that knows if they are mentally capabel to consent to sex is the person/child itself. But because of their age adults refuses to believe that they understand what they say yes too.
The biggest problem is that people like you base mental maturity on age instead of the individual and their life situations.
a child that have grown up in a situation where they had to take care of themself most of the time will, in most cases, grow up much faster than someone at the same age that is spoiled by their parents.
So putting every child in the same category because of their age is completely moronic. All children are different, and so are their stage of maturity.
When I was 12-15, I would want a mature woman to f♥♥k the s♥♥t out of me, and suck all juices out of my dick. Anyone who tells me I wasn’t capable of consenting sex then can go f♥♥k themselves.
>Minors and physically and mentally incapacitated persons
which is retarded. i met a couple of very level headed minors that could very well decide for themself if they wanted the D or not.
Meanwhile, I’ve known 30+ year olds who still could not make up their mind… but those are the ones making the law, and they wouldn’t want to take any rights away from themselves.
Like I said, the “we can’t get you for r♥♥e, but will do so anyway” clause. The definition of 18 as the magic number is also completely arbitrary. Why not 17 or 19 instead?
And before it was 21 it used to be “once they had their first period.” Societies change their arbitrary threshold all the time.
OR 21, it used to be 21!
If one has an issue with the age of consent, get the law changed. Otherwise…too bad.
Why is this even a crime?
Because women got the right to vote and made it so, to decrease competition from younger, more desirable girls.
That’s what you think.
Because it’s child abuse? Duh.
Define a child in any living species. It will be something BEFORE they are biologically capable of creating their own children.
I hope you are joking…lolicon as in 2D is fine but in reality people who are not mentally mature shouldn’t have sex with adults because they are easily manipulated and it’s exploitation
This argument makes no sense to me. For a person to not being exploited in a relationship requires to have experience. And how do you gain such experience? By being in a relationship, duh. If you are 30+ years old virgin who never dated anyone – you will be exploited the same way as some 12+ years old teen.
Why is a boy under 13 raped less of a crime than a girl ? that just doesn’t make any sense. If nothing else a boy ass raped is even more painful to him.
It also would be more psychologically traumatic.
Girl’s value decreases upon losing virginity, boy’s value doesn’t. Pain isn’t what this is about.
“I swear, I didn’t know she was 12! I thought she was younger!”
Nice how their penal code explicitly outlaws some cases of “sexual intercourse WITH A FEMALE.” I guess that explains why the man is always the assaulter and the girl the victim. I guess we have a long way to go before achieving true gender equality…
Looking at that penal code, rather than claiming he was confused about the girl’s age, the man should say he thought he was fucking a boy.
Wouldn’t have mattered, it would still fall under the legal definitions of both r♥♥e and statutory r♥♥e.
No, thank you. You can have your ‘true equility’ with fat hairy ugly bitches all for yourself. We are fine here without it :/
