Sexual Abuse but Not Guilty: Victims Call for Legal Changes

A father on trial for raping his 19-year-old biological daughter was acquitted in March. Anger to the ruling has spread across Japan. It is because of a criterion called "inability to resist" in the Japanese penal code. The judge acknowledged that the daughter did not consent to have sex but decided she could have resisted it. We are joined by Jun Yamamoto, head of a support group for victims of sexual violence, who was also sexually abused by her father, and Keiko Miyata, a lawyer advocating the "inability to resist" criterion to discuss the issue.
