Japan Finally Gets Around to Criminalizing Gang Rape
http://mdn.mainichi.co.jp/news/20040211p2a00m0dm010000c.html

The first major revision to Japan's criminal penalties in almost 100 years is set to include jail terms for gang rapists, according to the Justice Ministry.

The planned revision to the Penal Code, introduced in 1907, has been prompted by demands from crime victims for more serious punishments.

Following a headline-making case of gang rape committed by students from prestigious Waseda University, the Justice Ministry has called for criminalization of gang rape for the first time in Japan.

What the hell is wrong with that country?

4. I guess so

Usually I'm fairly liberal and open minded when it comes to sex, but between the bukkake and the schoolgirl fetish, Japan is fucked.

5. How is gang rape different from regular rape
other than the fact that there are multiple rapists?

Was it illegal to rape a woman by yourself, but ok as long as you had friends?

6. Quote: "Japanese men are perverted freaks"
Edited on Wed Feb-11-04 03:29 PM by Ashamed_American
So says a close friend of mine who is Japanese and moved to North America because she wanted to get married and have a family and was sick of the men in asia.

She also said a large percentage of Japanese men are addicted to animated pornography and were not attracted to real women anymore, apprently her last japanese boyfriend left her for an inflatable sailor moon doll.
