Reply #14: He wont go to federal prision

As I stated earlier, his crime is under the jurisdiction of the Japanese courts.

Even though they don't commonly prosecute rape it is mostly because rape is never reported. However, the crime is on the books and it is treated seriously when brought to authorities. There are claims made by Japanese nationalist types that their criminal rape stats show that they are more "civilized" than Americans, but social research shows that the act occurs probably just as often, but the social mechanisms that evaluate the response to the crime (victim self guilt etc) are dramatically different and result in less of an inclination to view the act as a "crime".

I'm not defending the perpetrator, just sharing my knowledge of how they think and behave.
