A crime came to light in Japan this week.
The town: Bungo-Ono, in Oita Prefecture.
Population, 30,000.
Almost half are over 65.
Some villages are 80% elderly.
On April 21, a 42-year-old Chinese national
pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting
a man in his 70s.
In court, he described what he'd done.
"I tried it on 14 men," he said.
"I think about half of them didn't resist."
His method was simple.
He'd walk up to an elderly man on a rural road.
"You look well. How old are you?"
"I'm good at massage."
He'd rub their shoulders.
Then his hands would move down.
The victims thought he was being kind.
His reason for choosing Japan, in his own words:
"When I bowed to people on the street,
they smiled and bowed back.
That's when I decided to do it."
He had come to Japan alone,
leaving a wife and two children in China,
to work on his older brother's farm
as a technical intern trainee.
One crime. But not just one man's crime.
Three things were in the room with him.
1. A labor system built on isolation.
Japan has 471,000 technical intern trainees.
Most are sent to rural areas, alone.
They legally cannot change employers.
In 2023, a record 9,753 of them disappeared.
Even the Japanese government now admits
the system is broken.
In June 2024, it passed a law abolishing it.
A replacement program, launching in 2027,
will finally let trainees transfer jobs.
2. A countryside with no witnesses.
Half of Bungo-Ono is over 65.
The young people who might have seen something
are not there anymore.
A stranger offering "a massage" on a quiet road
has nothing to fear.
3. Male victims who do not speak.
A Japanese government survey found that
70% of male sexual assault victims
never tell anyone.
Until 2017, Japanese law did not recognize
men as possible victims of rape.
The statute was written for women only.
The victim in this case told police he wanted
to forget that a stranger had touched him that way.
Then he said:
"But I was afraid
someone else would suffer worse."
He had been approached by a stranger once.
The defendant said he had tried it with 14 men.
That one man's phone call stopped the rest.
Sentencing is May 19.
