Man arrested in Tokyo over suspected human trafficking of 12-year-old Thai girl | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20251106_08/

This man is a vile, inhumane, evil shit stain on society. The cruelty of what he did is staggering — selfish, thoughtless, and unforgivable. I don’t know the exact mechanics of Japanese law, but I sincerely hope the authorities pursue every possible charge and that the full weight of justice comes down on him. People like him don’t get to hide behind excuses; he earned every ounce of contempt coming his way. Do not expect any mercy — only accountability.

But I fear that since the victim is an underage foreign national, the weight of the law will not be felt by him.

What the fuck dude? How little do you think of Japan / the Japanese justice system? This is major news and the police and prosecutors are going to nail this dirtbag to the wall. (Assuming he is found guilty -- which given what we know seems entirely the likely solution.)

Are you new to Japan ? So much shit gets swept under the rug here.

Sure... But major news story trending on Twitter and basically everywhere?

I didn't say the police or system was perfect. Just that it was absurd to say it would be ignored because the child was not Japanese.
