伊藤詩織さんが、元TBSワシントン支局長の山口敬之氏にレイプされた民事訴訟で勝訴した判決は世界で大きく報道されています。
A Japanese court ruled that a senior journalist close to Shinzo Abe, the prime minister, raped a young female colleague, although no criminal charges have ever been brought against him.
The judges awarded ¥3.3 million (£23,000) to Shiori Ito, 30, a journalist and film-maker who reported in 2015 that she had been raped by Noriyuki Yamaguchi, a prominent television reporter and biographer of Mr Abe.
Ms Ito’s refusal to abandon the case, even after prosecutors inexplicably dropped a criminal investigation, represents a rare challenge to a system in which female victims often complain that they are ignored and discriminated against. It is Japan’s most prominent manifestation of the worldwide #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and assault.
