A man who participated in a gang rape has been selected for the Japanese national team for the World Cup. His name is Kaishu Sano. He raped a woman with two other former players and was arrested. He was under police custody for 15 days.

However, he reached an out-of-court settlement with the victim, paid compensation and the case was dismissed due to lack of prosecution. In Japan, it is practically impossible for victims of sexual assault to go to court, and they are forced to settle out of necessity.

The Japan Football Association (JFA) is ignoring the protests and criticisms from the public. The Japan National Team’s coach Hajime Moriyasu has claimed that the gang rape was only a mistake and allowed the rapist to stay in the national team.

Men and missing the systemic and societal point to instead revert to individual denial of the worst crimes pointed out 😝🤭✌🏻😋
