<h2><span class="strongInContent"> I&#8217;m scared that he&#8217;s crazy.</span></h2>
<p> The &#8220;secret face&#8221; of former &#8220;Jungle Pocket&#8221; defendant Shinji Saito (43), which was exposed during his trial, has caused a stir.</p>
<p> At the second trial held on March 17 at the Tokyo District Court, the victim, Ms. A, appeared in court via video link. Her graphic testimony was presented one after another.</p>
<p> Ms. A met Mr. Saito for the first time on a TV program location in July 2012, and when they were talking alone on a bus touring stores, Mr. Saito said to her, &#8220;You&#8217;re cute.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Saito said to her, &#8220;You&#8217;re cute!</span></p>
<p> Ms. A said, &#8220;He kissed me at work in the morning.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He put his hand on her cheek and kissed her. I was scared that he was crazy.</span></p>
<p> Ms. A revealed, &#8220;I was scared that such a person would be abnormal. She said that she was kissed deeply, her breasts were touched, and her pubic area was forcibly put into his mouth.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was stiff and sobbed twice. It was really disgusting and humiliating.</span></p>
<p> She testified that she felt &#8220;really bad and humiliated.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Ms. A&#8217;s mother also appeared in court that day,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> She said, &#8220;My daughter&#8217;s body was so dirty, and I hated it so much.</span></p>
<p> She was very angry with Saito.</p>
<h2><span class="strongInContent"> 25 Million Yen as a Courtroom Strategy</span></h2>
<p> At the first trial on March 13, the defense admitted that kissing and oral sex had occurred, but Saito said, &#8220;I thought she was consenting.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;I thought he was giving me consent.</span></p>
<p> Saito denied the charges and pleaded not guilty.</p>
<p> One of the &#8220;discomforts&#8221; we felt during the trial was why Saito, who had pleaded not guilty, offered a large settlement of 25 million yen. According to a police official, &#8220;It was a courtroom strategy,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> According to one police official, &#8220;Sometimes, as a courtroom strategy, a settlement is offered in order to get a stay of execution or a reduced sentence. But in this case, it usually does not exceed 10 million yen.</span></p>
<p> In fact, in 1975, the defendant was forced to pay a settlement amount of 10 million yen.</p>
<p> In fact, actor Hirofumi Arai, who was indicted for forcible sexual intercourse in 2007, had his sentence reduced by one year from the five years he was sentenced to in the first trial because he paid a settlement of 3 million yen and a settlement was reached. Compared to that, 25 million yen is quite a large sum.</p>
<p> However, the victim woman has refused to accept the settlement. Behind it all, there is a story.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Saito&#8217;s side may have set some conditions.</span></p>
<p> A judicial reporter for a national newspaper who was present at the trial said, &#8220;The 25 million yen settlement was offered.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Saito&#8217;s conditions for the 25 million yen settlement were that she be allowed to continue her entertainment activities and that she not be punished. This means that the victim woman&#8217;s mouth will be closed, and for Ms. A, this will not be satisfactory. Also, in the courtroom, I sensed the strong anger of the mother and child toward the defendant Saito together, and the feelings of punishment must be quite strong.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> Incidentally, a woman presided over the trial. There seems to be no doubt that Saito is on the precipice.</p>
