Japan to target molesters

TOKYO - JAPANESE police will next week launch a crackdown against sexual molesters on Tokyo's rush-hour trains, officials and news reports said on Thursday.

Some 120 officers will board train carriages to catch men who fondle women or try to sneak revealing photographs of them, while campaign posters will be put up at subway stations, a police spokesman and Jiji Press said.

Police will also set up information booths at train stations to advise and counsel female commuters in the week-long campaign, which starts April 15 and is timed to coincide with the start of the school and business year.

'With the campaign, we aim to crack down on a vicious act that targets innocent female passengers,' the police spokesman said. Police did not disclose whether they would deploy uniformed or undercover officers.

Concern has risen in recent years in Japan about gropers, some of whom have exchanged tips on Internet forums. In 2001 Tokyo began running women-only carriages during rush hours.

The number of sexual assaults, excluding rape, on trains has fallen gradually since 2004, according to National Police Agency data, but some 340 cases were still reported last year, 80 per cent in and around Tokyo. NPA data also shows that more than 2,500 cases of groping, harassment and other sexual offences were reported in public areas, including trains and subways, in Tokyo and three adjacent prefectures in 2008. -- AFP

Saw a documentary on jap subway before, the way they are all squeezed, don't think you have to be intentional to touch some other lady. Only thing is all up to luck if you are next to a pretty or ugly one.

yeah i would think some are real and some are fake.

it's really dumb to believe that the girl would be so willing to be molested/squirted on/groped/fucked/etc without any resistance.

Unless lots of money is involved lah.....then maybe that would be easier to bear with..

Some gals allow the molest and then follow the man to demand a ransom.

Molesters are indeed not welcome but hopefully the Tokyo police do not overdo things and start arresting on minimum grounds.

Else Japan will end up like a Singapore.
