Toru Hashimoto’s Controversial Comments on Sexual Violence: A Legal Perspective on Ethics and Fairness

Inquiry from the Readers:

Toru Hashimoto, the lawyer, has stated, “Based on the facts I understand, Nakai’s actions do not constitute ‘sexual violence’,” but what exactly does he mean by “facts”?

Masahiro Nakai’s Lawyer Requests Evidence Disclosure: A Strategy to Manipulate Public Opinion?

Question from Readers:
What do you think about Masahiro Nakai’s lawyer requesting the third-party committee to “disclose evidence supporting the allegations of sexual violence”?
