She Broke Japan’s Silence on Rape
By MOTOKO RICHDEC. 29, 2017

Shiori Ito told the police she had been raped by Noriyuki Yamaguchi, then the Washington bureau chief for the Tokyo Broadcasting System and a biographer of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

TOKYO — It was a spring Friday night when one of Japan’s best-known television journalists invited Shiori Ito out for a drink. Her internship at a news service in Tokyo was ending, and she had inquired about another internship with his network.

They met at a bar in central Tokyo for grilled chicken and beer, then went to dinner. The last thing she remembers, she later told the police, was feeling dizzy and excusing herself to go to the restroom, where she passed out.

By the end of the night, she alleged, he had taken her back to his hotel room and raped her while she was unconscious.

The journalist, Noriyuki Yamaguchi, the Washington bureau chief of the Tokyo Broadcasting System at the time and a biographer of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, denied the charge and, after a two-month investigation, prosecutors dropped the case.

Then Ms. Ito decided to do something women in Japan almost never do: She spoke out.

In a news conference in May and a book published in October, she said the police had obtained hotel security camera footage that appeared to show Mr. Yamaguchi propping her up, unconscious, as they walked through the hotel lobby. The police also located and interviewed their taxi driver, who confirmed that she had passed out. Investigators told her they were going to arrest Mr. Yamaguchi, she said — but then suddenly backed off.

Journalist in alleged rape case calls for change in Criminal Law

A journalist whose high-profile rape case was dropped by prosecutors has called for an overhaul of the Criminal Law and authorities’ handling of sexual assault cases to make it easier for victims to find justice.

Shiori Ito, 28, revealed her full identity at a news conference at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan in Tokyo on Oct. 24, having given only her first name to protect her family’s privacy at her previous news conference in May.

“In addition to rectifying the way authorities conduct their investigations and the judicial system, we need a change in society over how rape cases should be treated,” she said. “We also need a setup to help rape victims.”

The news conference followed the publication of Ito’s book, “The Black Box,” which details accounts leading up to the incident and the course of the subsequent police investigation. The book was released earlier this month by Bungeishunju Ltd.

Ito filed a criminal complaint with police in April 2015, alleging that she had been raped earlier the same month by a journalist, who was at that time with Tokyo Broadcasting System Television Inc. (TBS).
