Normally a charge like this in the US/North America would get you 50+ years, or even a life sentence. But 4 years is like a minor felony in my eyes. This is sad and unfortunate but yet not surprising if you've been observing the justice system in East Asia.

Depending on how severe the acts are in the country I live in, the perpetrator can receive up to 15+ years plus safe custody which would be equal to life sentence. But yes, I love Japan but some of the laws are just...

Here in the states, I was on a jury that put away a man for 40 years who only had one victim. Only 4 years is just...nonsense.

As I said, the justice system in Asia is just... Well, I don't know what else I can say.

I remember seeing this wording before in similar article on ANN, but it's weird to see "nonconsensual sexual intercourse" description when it not used to describe rape, but prostitution where consent was given, but doesn't count legally. Especially since they immediately write "minor" in the same sentence so we know it's not legal prostitution.

Beside China, what other East Asian countries do harsh punishment against this type of act like Itou did?
