A journalist who broke the silence on rape in Japan won her court case qz.com

According to Ito, Yamaguchi raped her in a hotel room in 2015 in Tokyo while she was unconscious, after they met for a drink to discuss Ito’s career path.
Following a police investigation—in which Ito was made to reenact the ordeal using a sex doll—prosecutors dropped the charges.
Ito went public about her experience in 2017, with a news conference, and also recounted her experiences in a book called Black Box.
That year, she also filed a civil lawsuit against Yamaguchi, who filed a counter claim seeking ¥130 million in compensation.
To date, the most powerful man to fall from power after he faced accusations of sexual assault is Junichi Fukuda, formerly the finance ministry’s top bureaucrat, who was accused of making sexual advances against multiple female reporters.
