Two rape suspects in custody linked to more than 30 assaults
SAITAMA —
Two men arrested for allegedly raping a 17-year-old high school girl told police that they had raped more than 30 women, including 14-year-old girl, since 2003, Saitama police said Tuesday.
Kenichi Hasegawa, 31, and Haruyuki Okado, 31, who were arrested on Aug 9 for allegedly raping a girl whom they met through a phone dating service, told police that they targeted women aged between 14 and 26 so far. They have already been charged with allegedly raping a 14-year-old junior high school girl inside their car in Ashikaga Cityon May 3.

And, the Japanese police solve another case - with a confession. These animals have been doing this for five years? I know many rapes do not get reported, but c'mon. This is ridiculous! And, once again, it's Saitama, .

These guys have been doing this for 5 years to at least 30 woman. Maybe the police don't take rape as a high pirioty crime.

Why would they tell? Probably because even a condom won't prevent traces of their DNA being left on their victims. They know damn well that they'll be done for most of them anyway, but confessing and then faking remorse will get them a lower sentence (or maybe a bigger slap-up dinner if they get a judge who likes rapists.)

Notginger,
Reading the lines and even between them, I think it is safe to assume this is forcible rape. They targeted women up to 26. JT might be mixing statutory rape and forcible rape, but I doubt it.
One dangerous conclusion some may jump to is that the women troll the dating sites specifically for sex. It is more accurate to say that sex is likely in the cards, but not on the first meeting I would think would be most usual. Meeting through a dating site does not mean instant sex and it is no excuse for rape either.

well maybe the girls said "iya" like in japanese porn, there it means yes, so maybe they were just confused 0__0.
So it is the Porn industry fault not the fault of these 2 degenerates.

Dennis- Give me call please, it`s Steve, lost my phone + numbers.
What is wrong with these 2? Don`t they have social skills to get a "real" girlfriend.
Instead, they make loads of girls victims, with maybe PTSD, to satisfy themselves.
Give them life with hard labor, the dirty little devils.

I think with rapists the attraction is the violence, not the sex. If it was just about getting your rocks off, there are millions of ways to do that in Tokyo for just a few thousand yen.

If they just wanted violence they could have knocked on my door. I fight dirty too, like any caveman. But I suspect they did not knock on my door because they wanted sex too. Most people don't find cavemen attractive.
They were arrested 3 weeks ago. After 3 weeks of Japanese style interrogation they probably also confessed to the JFK assassination, to being survivors and stowaways of the Apollo 13, and to being the love children of Mother Theresa.

As Caveman implied, it's not about sex and it's not about violence. It's about sexual violence.
Does this mean they said they'd be targetting women in the future? Sloppy writing.

Nobody can defend this. Rape is a violent crime, and these guys should be punished if they did this.
Saying that, was this a confession that promises them a lenient sentence? In the absence of legal assistance? Maybe they said they did this to get out of the interrogation room.
And if they indeed targeted junior high girls, then these guys need some California justice, San Quentin general population style.......

At first I couldn't understand the meaning of "so far". But when I asked my retired policeman friend, he said that many other victims haven't come forward, and might never do so. I misinterpreted it to mean they'd be let go and do more of the same, heaven forbid.

So true! Too many of these little wimp Japanese guys have never been to the school of hard knocks to be taught what's what! They live a virtual lawless lifestyle. This is only two wimps from one prefecture. How many more are there? How many more girls have been molested? How can foreigners get these little wimps alone for a lesson in what's what without being deported?

There are probably many that will never be found out. There needs to be more laws to give women or male victims of rape reason to report them. So far many do not, which is sad to say being that more people become victims until the perv is caught.

I think the focus should be prevention. The trouble is that people have trouble being open and frank about sex, which is necessary to come up with prevention measures, such as making it easier to find sex partners. One way to that is to teach the social skill it requires to do so. Another way is reduce the shame factor.
I suspect that these thirty year olds only went this direction because they could not find sex partners when they were younger. Sure, it could be the rape fetish, it could even be a mix of both and even the tail wagging the dog, but I think odds are a barren sex life was what ultimately led to this.
Someone might start pointing out prostitution now. But if they do, I bet they have seen many prostitutes, not the full service kind anyway. Not appealing. Its not like in the movies.

If they were full of vigor and energy its more easily understandable.

Isthistheend you said "I misinterpreted it to mean they'd be let go and do more of the same, heaven forbid."
Looking at the general backwards state of Japanese law, I think you may have gotten it right the first time. No misinterpretation.

Not so in Japan. Cheap sex is easily available, at least for the natives, just walk through your nearest entertainment district. Once again: this is not simply about sex.

You interpreted it correctly. The writer is the one who screwed up.

Even if you caught them dick in hand, if you tried to detain them, you would probably be subject to incarceration. Stupid gaijin.
