ALHQQ:

Not legal, I believe, but all too often b-all is done about it, probably due to some combination of the difficulty of proving anything and some idea that there isn't really anything wrong with it so the law needn't be enforced.

the hits just keep on coming from the ASDF.

Not just a coincidence. I bet this had been going on for a very long time. The female deputy must have sensed a change in the wind direction recently, and judged that the time was now ripe/right for her to make her complaint.

What do they put into the water at ASDF bases?

Kick the Japanese military out of Japan. All they do is cause problems. Return the land to the rightful inhabitants. They cause more problems than solutions. We don't need their protection.

Total lack of social skills, perverted porn epidemic, years of treating women like dirt = Japanese men believing they have a licence to touch any woman they feel like.

15 posts and not one 'innocent until proven guilty' claims. Guess we only hear that declaration when it has to do with American military members. Shouldn't this guy get the benefit of the doubt since these are only 'allegations'?

According to the article, he has admitted to the allegations.

The guy admitted to harassing the woman, and they didn't arrest him, they fired him from his job. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a concept of American criminal procedure that applies to civilians, not HR guidelines for officers in the Japanese military. I suppose you also think his right to free expression was infringed.

Is it possible to put a Japanese guy in a position of power without him thinking he's some big king who can do whatever he wants?
