Jeancolmar, jacquii, Sarge, MagnusGarstin.....You all make very good points. I echo all of you. The punishment was too lenient...those that don't understand the complexities of being a rape victim will of course question why the victim took so long to report it, the actual crime is not a result of a lenient school system, and yes...the current state of Japanese pop culture illustrates the glorifying of gang rape, train molestation...etc. The last time I was in Japan, June of 2008, I was absolutely terrified by the stories my mother told me about what was going on over there. All of the other times I've gone to Japan to visit my family, I never feared for my safety. Japan really has to do something substantial to promote a social shit away from it's current decline in morality, biases against women and the family structure. Don't get me wrong though, my husband and I live in Florida with a teenaged son are also aware of the violence and twisted morality of youth here. We do our part, however, to intervene and raise him to be the proper man he should be.
