Both our kids learned to ride by themselves without trainer wheels by the age of 4, but I noticed a lot of local kids are slower to learn. We bring our kids up to be fearless, which makes all the difference, I think.

Wow - people aren't rushing to this pedo's defence like usual and/or trying to throw smokescreens about "consent", "we need to see all the facts first", "the child could have made it all up" and so on. Amazing.

If convicted, this "man" needs decades locked up in solitary.

That's the first thing I noticed, too. Where are all the sexual predator defenders today?

Only when it;s a girl huh guys/

Very sad.

Fact is, children are the most easily manipulated members of society.

Kids can lie and more importantly an aging brain loses much of its functions that would prevent inappropriate behavior of all types.

Dont rush to judgement people. Especially the "jail him ! jail him " brigade.

What if the mother is lying?

Hard case to prove probably if he has NO criminal history of this kind, may be it did happen but I hope it did NOT.

A child psychologist will tell you that Sometime kids can and will say things that they think it may have happened especially when interrogated, best of luck for the child and I pray for her full recovery if it happened.

(Regarding above observations)

I don’t think you can fault them for not saying more about “origin”. They refer to his name which obviously indicates he is a national. What more do you need to know?

Well, if they are going to have the same standard of reporting, then the ethics and geographical origin of ALL suspects should always be included, such as whether the person is from Kyushu, Hokkaido or Tokyo etc. And whether they are of Chinese origin, Ainu origin or Korean,, Yamato, Ryukyuans etc.

In reality, these things should be left out no matter where they are from unless there is a specific reason they should be included. JT and other Japanese news organisations include the geographical orgin and eternity only when it is a foreingerr and even when it is of no significance/

This is considered unethical and poor social responsibility and accountability in journalism in most nations unless your Fox news or the NY Post which are hardly upsetting modules of journalism.

It's a miracle that she confided in her mother. Many girls and women never disclose their experiences of sexual assault. Fortunately, their relationship was open enough for her to feel safe speaking up.

The harsh reality of sexual assault, particularly in Japan, is that many women endure the trauma of sexual assault for their entire lives and often never share their pain with anyone.

It's a deeply sad but silent catastrophe.
