I love reading the excuses the arrested people give.

Innocent? Really? I highly doubt that. She was registered on those bulletin boards for one reason. And as for the guy, he's a filthy perv who needs to be locked up.
What is it, seriously? A barely physically developed 12 year-old wins a freakin' BIKINI contest, and then somehow, the police are suprised when a case like this turns up.

This stuff makes my blood boil. Bloody brilliant.
Deaths announced over the PA system, and a meeting was held. Did they have to hanko something to say the attended the meeting of bowing and much breathing in through teeth?
Fantastic. I wonder what other brainwaves they had in the aftermarth.
Why the hell didn't they remove the spoilt, bratty sh!ts who were causing all this strife in the first place, not the victims. I'm sick to death of this sodding incompetence in schools / the country in general to either acknowledge there's a problem, or even if that first mighty hurdle is cleared, the decent way to go about solving it.

No doubt this'll be treated as murder by the police, not as a deeper serious social/welfare/mental-related issue which it is.
Sad case all round. I hope the woman is given all the help she needs, and people face up to the fact that there is in fact a problem here.

What a sad, pathetic old man. Stuff like this makes my blood boil.
"she ignored me so I acted like a petulent child and couldn't express my emotions or feelings properly, just like other pathetic Japanese men"
Let him rot in jail.

This beggars belief. I just cannot understand how anyone could think to leave their child in a car with no windows open in the boiling heat.
What an absolute bellend.

You got off lightly, kid.
If you're old enough to do the crime, you're old enough to do the time. Send these infantiles down for a long time.

Cat5 What a ballbag.
Everyone else... I don't know this case fully enough, but 'if' he was in on flimsy evidence, then his release seems ok to me.
I don't see why the US should throw its weight around. Hardly the beacon of justice, transparency and democracy that it claims itself to be. Scotland's blood for oil? Don't make me laugh.

To be fair, it could be the case that they tried, but the judge / judicial process was being stupidly slow as usual, thus their hands were tied. So if they went to arrest the sh*t, he would've claimed what they did was illegal etc, and in all likelyhood not been able be arrested at all.

Hope the girl recovers.
What is it with these immature idiots committing crimes against defenceless women and then calling their mothers. Living at home with his manga stash I bet. FFS. Lock him up for good, and whilst he's in there, send him his ex^s wedding pics.

Well, whatever rehab scheme we should put them on, they need to be punished, whether they need help or not. You don't get to stuff like that and get away with it, although this is Japan...
But I agree, it is a complete breakdown in society, I mean, rape I accept as a sad fact of life, but when your OWN FAMILY is involved, it takes on a whole new meaning of the word 'sick', esepcially when it's in a supposedly developed nation like Japan.
