<h2> The victim was taken into the room by force. &#8230;&#8230;</h2>
 The incident took place on March 15, 2010. The three defendants from Shiga Medical University invited two women they knew, including the victim, Ms. B, and had been drinking with five others; one of the women went home, but they moved to A&#8217;s apartment in Otsu City in the name of a second party. When they got on the elevator, the defendants&#8217; attitude changed drastically.
 They stood in front of Ms. B, threatened to have sexual intercourse with her, and forced her into the room. I can&#8217;t! But the defendants grabbed her arms and forced her to remove her clothes and engage in sexual intercourse. The defendants took turns assaulting Ms. B. The assault continued until dawn the next day, and the defendants were taking video of the assault with their smart phones,&#8221; said a reporter from a national newspaper.

 Ms. B immediately called the police and called the Sexual Crimes Hotline. The incident was discovered and the three defendants were arrested.
 During the trial, the defendants&#8217; despicable behavior was revealed one after another. According to the prosecutors, the defendants had been holding drinking parties for the purpose of sexual assault for some time. They shared video footage of their sexual acts.
 A&#8217;s family home is a doctor&#8217;s office in Hiroshima Prefecture. After graduating from a well-known preparatory school in the prefecture, he went on to Shiga Medical University. At the university, he joined the soccer club and became vice captain. I heard that he was a mood maker on the team, making everyone around him laugh.
 In court, A said, &#8220;I deeply hurt (the victim). I am sorry,&#8221; he said, expressing remorse. However, when asked by the prosecutor about his request for sexual intercourse with Ms. B in the elevator and her refusal, he avoided answering the question, saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t remember.
 I don&#8217;t remember.
 The defense, however, argued that &#8220;it is assumed that there was no clear refusal at the beginning of sexual intercourse,&#8221; and asked for a suspended sentence.
