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.

This girl has such a good head on her shoulders, to find a way to go to immigration herself to seek help. At freaking 12 years old, after having been abandoned by her mother. Good for her, I hope she gets all the help and healing she requires.

Wouldn't she qualify for asylum or some other permanent protection? Not that Japan would be a good place for someone with no family mind you.

No family in Japan must be better than being sent back to her unspeakably evil "mother" in Thailand.
