Safe ba ang Japan

Topic: Rape Cases sa Japan

Sa mga balita, di uso ang salitang "rape". Totoo ba ito o maraming underground na nangyayari at pati sa balita'y tinatago lamang?

[mcgregor]

interesting.

i'm not very familiar how the japanese criminal law defines rape. sa nabasa ko lang, kapag ang babae kahit pinuwersang makipag-sex ng kanyang bf, that is not considered as rape. parang it's 'expected or natural' for lovers to engage in such act kahit walang consent ng babae.

sa pilipinas iba. a woman's consent is necessary palagi. kahit nga mag-asawa na, kailangan pumayag ang babaeng makipagtalik. otherwise she can sue the husband for marital rape.

:O

ang alam ko kahihiyan ng babae dito ang mabalitaan na na-rape sila kaya pipilitin na lang nilang itago kaysa magsumbong sa pulis.... ewan ko lang kung totoo, kwento lang kasi sa akin.

Siguro totoo, siguro hindi. Sabi ng iba marami daw na unreported cases, most of which ay dahil sa nabanggit ni shonen. Sabi naman ng iba pa, actually konti lang daw ang rape kasi open naman sila sa sex (i.e. mas maraming active compared sa Pinas). Either case, we can never know the exact figure of unreported cases unless i-research natin ng maigi.

Hindi nga yata rape, pero sexual assualt (強制わいせつ - kyousei waisetsu) ito as defined in the Penal Code (刑法 (http://www.houko.com/00/01/M40/045.HTM) - keihou): http://www.houko.com/00/01/M40/045.HTM

（強制わいせつ）
第176条　13歳以上の男女に対し、暴行 又は脅迫を用いてわいせつな行為をした者は 、６月以上10年以下の懲役に処する。13 歳未満の男女に対し、わいせつな行為をした 者も、同様とする。Rough ly translates to: Article 176. A person who has used threats and/or violence in commiting an indecent act against a male or a female at least 13 years of age, shall be sentenced to a prison term of not less than 6 months but not more than 10 years. The same term applies for those who commited the crime against a male or female below 13 years of age.

Rape (強姦 - goukan) is defined as:

（強姦）
第177条　暴行又は脅迫を用いて13歳以 上の女子を姦淫した者は、強姦の罪とし、３ 年以上の有期懲役に処する。13歳未満の女 子を姦淫した者も、同様とする。Rough ly: Article 177. A person who has used threats and/or violence in commiting sexual intercourse with a female at least 13 years of age, has commited rape and shall be sentenced to a prison term of at least 3 years. The same term applies for those who commited the crime against a female below 13 years of age.

Note that only a female can be "raped" in Japan. :eek: Ingat tayo mga tsong!
