News24: Japan worried about fondling
A record 2 201 cases of groping on Tokyo trains were reported to police last year, with more than half committed during the jam-packed morning rush hour, police said on Tuesday. The complaints, the largest figure since the Tokyo Metropolitan Police started the survey in 1962, led to 1 897 arrests for alleged groping in 2004, including 300 cases of more serious charges of sexual molestation, a police spokesperson said on condition of anonymity...The number of reports from victims tripled from about 680 in 1996, in part because of growing awareness and willingness among victims to file complaints to the police.
