A SEX PREDATOR WAS THE GOVERNOR. The System Protected Him For TWO DECADES.
A bombshell legal report confirms the worst: Former Fukui Governor Tatsuji Sugimoto is a serial sexual predator. The official investigation found he sexually harassed FOUR female government workers under his power. But this wasn’t just harassment.
On at least three occasions, he PHYSICALLY ASSAULTED them. The report details one brutal instance where he put his hands up a woman’s skirt and groped her thigh and buttocks. The lawyers behind the report drop a terrifying legal conclusion: HIS ACTIONS COULD CONSTITUTE SEXUAL ASSAULT UNDER CRIMINAL LAW.
This wasn’t a one-time mistake. The nightmare started in 2004 when he became the prefecture’s general affairs manager. For nearly TWENTY YEARS, this man climbed the ladder of power while targeting the women he was supposed to lead. His victims were trapped in his domain, forced to endure his abuses until he finally resigned last month. Why did it take so long?
This is a classic case of a powerful man shielded by a system that values silence over safety. Who else knew? Who looked the other way while he terrorized his staff? The report is a damning indictment, but it’s just a piece of paper. The real crime is the culture of complicity that allowed his reign of predation to continue unchecked for a generation.
The man who made laws for your safety spent decades allegedly breaking them in the darkest way possible.
