The modus operandi involved excessive alcohol consumption or drugging to incapacitate the victims, followed by sexual assault in various settings. The paragraph also touches on the psychological manipulation and the club's hierarchical structure that encouraged such heinous acts as a demonstration of group solidarity.

Transcripts
when we think of Japan we think about
its Rich cultural heritage its cuisine
and the Japanese people who are often
associated with a high level of
politeness and a strong sense of
etiquette also we often perceive Japan
as a safe place compared to other parts
of Asia I do think this is true to some
degree but the question remains is Japan
safe for
women we hear many stories from women
living in Japan about frequent
experiences of molestation in broad
daylight and the same applies to women
in Korea I must say behind the glitz and
glamour of society which is often the
sole focus of Dramas there is always a
dark side and on my channel that's what
we are going to discuss today's case is
another level shocking and it serves as
a stark reminder that Japan may not
always be a safe place for women
especially if you find yourself in the
wrong place at the wrong time with the
wrong people in Japan victims of
gender-based crime are often brushed off
according to a BBC documentary
gender-based crimes are rampant but the
victims are reluctant to come forward
with their testimony for fear of being
shamed after all the belief that sexual
assault is a myth remains strong in
Japan as well as in several other Asian
countries the sexualization and
fetishization of assault videos
exacerbate the situation for victims
sexual assault can occur anywhere from a
private place like one's own home to a
public setting such as the subway often
referred to as chican the term Chan is
commonly used to describe men who
exploit crowded conditions on public
transit systems to grope women and this
explanation sets the background for what
we will will discuss further in today's
case so today let's take a look into a
disgusting Japanese University Club that
was created to take advantage of female
students the superf free incident in
[Music]
Japan
I'm sure many of you are familiar with
college clubs each university has its
own variety ranging from at least five
to of course more than a handful these
clubs act as either extracurricular
activities or just places where students
can indulge into their Hobbies but as
unbelievable as it is are you aware Ware
of the existence of sexual assault clubs
at first I thought there was no way a
group of individuals would join that
type of Club at least sane individuals
but it's not uncommon for such clubs to
exist even hidden from The Naked Eyes of
educational institutions of course it's
not like they openly advertise that the
club would trick women and serve them up
to mail members on the surface they are
just like any other club s they mask
their Club as a normal Gathering but
they pray on the girl members or even
strangers so it's quite difficult to
track them one by one compounded by the
victim's reluctance to report it those
who fall victim are subjected to getting
drugged and a disgusting gang assault a
well-known story of a super free Club is
one example of it established way back
in
1982 superfree was initially a social
Gathering Club at Wasa University Wasa
University Here is known to be an elite
University as they have multiple
ministers and heads of companies among
its alumni but this prestigious image
would soon be tarnished by this incident
or perhaps an issue that had been
ongoing for quite some time but no one
had dared to speak about the duration of
the super free circle's operation as an
assault circle is unknown it might once
been a normal Gathering club for
students but it changed drastically when
one student became the organizer of the
club shinada was a seconde student in
1995 when he became the head of that
Gathering Club it was then that super
free transformed into something unlike
any other school club becoming wildly
notorious let's learn a little about
wada himself shinich wada had initially
planned to enroll at true University of
Tokyo in
1993 but he aspired for more he was an
ambitious young man he wanted to be more
than he actually was so he started
taking wasa's entrance exam and he got
in then what I became aware of the
existence of this superf free club and
decided to join it the club was known
for having fun with the girls at parties
so who could resist W was well-liked in
that Circle until he eventually
became the head organizer of the club
superf free operated not just within one
University but branched out to other
circles forming a joint group their
primary activities included frequent
Rave parties at clubs in Tokyo
especially in the rongi district to keep
their criminal activities Under Wraps
wada instructed club members to
distribute tickets for their activities
only to trusted individuals and eager
freshmen from the outside superfree
appeared to be a typical fraternity
style Club but it was actually very
successful the club included members not
only from was University but also from
other prestigious universities around
Tokyo according to one report they had
five branches 30 employees and even an
office in Tokyo the tickets they
distributed weren't free w reportedly
earned 10 million yen which is about
,000 annually but money wasn't their
only goal their primary objective was
women superf free attracted many young
students and women especially from less
Elite universities these women were
their main targets because they were
vulnerable and believed that attending
the parties would give them access to
the high ranking Tokyo lifestyle Tao an
investigator interested in the case
began researching what happened and what
led to this heinous mess according to
him these women who were not attending
universities in the big city of Tokyo
were willing to believe the Flyers
advertising Rave parties as representing
the typical Tokyo lifestyle he even
stated that some of the victims in court
admitted to consenting to the gang
assault and became lovers of the superf
free members the modus operandi was
always the same all guests and me first
gathered in a club for a rave party got
special girls drunk and took them to the
bathroom the girls were made extremely
drunk by being encouraged to drink as
much alcohol as they could until they
were unable to resist
anymore they'd then be taken to the
bathroom where the members of the superf
free circles take turns in line to
sexually assault
them the act of gang assault was not
only permitted but was actively
encouraged by wada himself in the power
structure which resembled a pyramid wada
viewed gang assaulting girls as a way to
demonstrate solidarity among members
wada allegedly told the superfree
members that those who would not
participate in this heinous act were not
truly part of the group but it's so
distressing to think how any sane person
could so readily accept his words
without logical thinking this
specifically organized crime didn't only
take place in bar bathrooms but also in
other locations the girls could be taken
to an Alleyway a stairwell hotels or
even to W's or a member's house the
perpetrators made sure to Target the
most vulnerable and attractive girls
then Spike their drinks with strong
vodka with nearly 90% alcohol if that
wasn't sufficient or available
drugs were also used to knock their
victims
unconscious more often than not the
members would take pictures of the
assault to Blackmail and silence their
victims this tactic enabled them to
easily control the victim making it
difficult for her to report the ACT
anywhere it was reported that a member
named Kishimoto was task with calming
the struggling victims by keeping their
victims quiet and cooperative they were
able to operate under the police radar
for years in total around 100 women were
estimated to have been assaulted by
superf free members it was also said
that about 50 men were involved in the
gang
assaults the frequency of committing the
crime varied among members some stated
they had only done it once or twice
While others admitted to doing it up to
15 times the number of victims
perpetrators and frequency of the crimes
can't be determined because of the
nature of the crime itself on December
19 2001 wada and two other members of
superf free assaulted a 19-year-old
college student at W's residence in
April 2003 wada and 12 members of the
gang assaulted an 18-year-old near a
rongi building before taking her to W's
residence for further assault on May
18th 2003 wada and four other members
assaulted a 20-year-old college student
at the same rongi location the reason
why I'm mentioning these three cases is
that despite there possibly being more
than 100 victims only wada and 13 of the
superf free members were arrested on
just three counts of the assaults I just
mentioned even when these reports
finally came out and multiple women
bravely came forward with similar
reports they requested that their
complaints not be filed
perhaps they belied that those arrested
were just the tip of the iceberg and
feared they could be blackmailed or
targeted for Revenge at any time W was
sentenced to 14 years of imprisonment
while the others received imprisonment
punishments ranging from 28 months to 10
years W's sentence wasn't the maximum
partly because his father made a plea
offering to compensate the victims but
yes this compensation was only for those
involved in the three
reports despite their heinous crimes
these individuals had the audacity to
appeal their sentences wada appealed his
verdict in 2003 but the Tokyo High Court
rejected these appeals in June 2005 and
upheld the original verdict wada and the
others tried to submit their appeal to
the Supreme Court of Japan but their
efforts were inv ban as the Supreme
Court also rejected it in November of
the same year according to sources
despite a sentence officially ending in
2017 wada was released on parole earlier
he now resides in Osaka having changed
his name and address this case became a
catalyst for revising Japan sexual
assault laws and led to the addition of
a gang sexual assault prosecution law to
the criminal code of
Japan the need for change was
underscored by the disparity in
sentencing the minimum sentence for
robbery was 5 years while for sexual
assault it was only 2
years this discrepancy highlighted a
troubling valuation of human dignity
versus property in the eyes of the law
not to mention then Chief cabinet
secretary yasu fukuda made controversial
and absolutely creepy comments during an
off- thee reccord discussion with the
reporters in June 2003 regarding this
superf free
incident he stated that there are women
who look like they're saying do it to me
and it's the women's fault because men
are panthers I
mean what how sick in the mind do you
have to be to say that though still
fukura said that that comment was
distorted and he never intended to
defend sexual
assault as I was researching this case I
actually found out something about the
notorious way some men in Japan view sex
and assault there was an anime made in
the 9s called rapeman which tells the
story of a superhero whose Moto is
writing wrongs through
penetration he takes revenge on women
including high school girls for his
clients and this anime is still enjoyed
by men even today an explanation that I
found is quite interesting one manga
collector said that after Japan's defeat
in World War II Japanese men developed
an inferiority complex they used to feel
dominant especially over women but the
post-war period left them feeling
defeated and Dishonored this is why some
seek to regain a sense of power Power by
consuming such media and in extreme
cases emulating it blurring the lines
between fiction and
reality I don't know um if any of you
are watching from Japan I'm sure you can
give us a better explanation the way
Japan views women is still a topic of
ongoing debate within its legal system
despite adjustments to the criminal code
the reality is that gender-based attacks
continue to take place and and gender
discrimination remains prevalent in the
21st century even after this case in
2014 dozens of girls were found
unconscious on the streets of Shinjuku
these girls were not merely drunk but
completely unconscious lying on the
street with their skirts up to their
hips and several were reported to have
soiled themselves which rais suspicions
that someone might have slipped a muscle
relaxant or some typ type of drugs into
their
drinks all of these girls were students
from Japan Women's University and played
tennis with male members of the tennis
club of Mai University earlier that day
Mai University issued an official
statement that they would prevent this
from ever happening again and that was
it I feel terrible for all the victims
out there and yet all I can do is wish
for the recovery of every victim of
sexual assault and for the safety of
other women stay safe everyone and as
always thank you for
