For the most part, Japanese men are hard working, conscientious, good company men and do their best for their families.

For the most part…

But, then there are the few that make news…the ones that all too often can't keep their hands to themselves.

I met a woman a couple of nights ago who worked with some Japanese men. On more than one occasion she told me she had to remind them, 'don't invade my personal space.

Here's four reasons why -

 1. a JSDF private threatens a little 12-year old girl because she won't meet him.

2. Women raped because of a lax in security at home. 

3. Gas inspector commits 28 cases of rape. 

4. High-profile economist goes to jail for groping. 

Sickos are not unique to Japan, to be sure. But, they are not absent from the country either.
