そういえば、軍内部でのレイプ、通報されていないレイプ率というのはかなり高かったよなああ。
この性暴力率の高い外国人部隊にしがみつき、泣きついているダサい日本のおっさん保守ってのも異様で情けない姿ではある。

まんべくんツイッター休止へ 長万部町「コメントない」
同社社長(30)は取材に対し、「出身の長万部を応援したいとボランティアでやってきたが、ファンや僕らの(以前のような活動への)要望が町などに聞き入れてもらえず、貢献も認められない。続けれらないと判断した」と話した。2、3週間後に休止するという。
町産業振興課の担当者は「まんべくんを応援していただける人が理性を持ってやっていただければと、ツイッターに規制はかけていなかった。休止に特にコメントはない」としている。
責任をとりたくない行政のいいそうなこと。こうして日本の活力はうしなわれていくわけだ。
電気値上げ、年収カット条件 経産省「大企業並みに」
経済産業省は、電力会社が家庭向け電気料金の値上げを申請した場合、社員の年収を社員1千人以上の大企業平均(596万円)並みに引き下げるよう求める方針を固めた。電力会社は社員の年収が800万円前後で大企業平均を大きく上回っており、2割を超える給与削減を迫られる可能性がある。
大企業なみにすれば、上げていいという論理、感覚がまったくわからないーーーふざけるな、と。
東電女性殺害、検察が無罪主張 11月7日に無罪判決へ
東電女性社員殺害事件の再審公判のため、東京高裁に入る東京高検の検事=29日午前10時5分、東京・霞が関、福留庸友撮影
[PR]
【根岸拓朗】1997年に東京都渋谷区で起きた東京電力女性社員殺害事件で、無期懲役が確定していた元被告のゴビンダ・プラサド・マイナリさん(46)=ネパール国籍=の再審第1回公判が29日、東京高裁(小川正持裁判長)であった。検察・弁護側の双方が無罪を求める意見を述べて結審。判決は11月7日午前10時半に言い渡される。
マイナリさんが無罪となるのは確実で、検察側は判決後、速やかに最高裁に上告できる権利(上訴権)を放棄し、マイナリさんの無罪が確定する見通し。死刑か無期懲役が確定した戦後の事件で、再審で無罪となるのは8件目(9人目)。
再審請求審で実施されたDNA型鑑定では、被害女性(当時39)の体内に残っていた精液と現場の部屋にあった体毛の型が一致し、マイナリさんとは別人のものと判明。高裁は今年6月に「第三者が女性を殺した疑いがある」と認め、再審開始を決めた。
検察側はこの日の法廷で「被告以外の者が犯人である可能性を否定できず、被告を有罪とはいえない」と述べた。弁護側は「捜査、公判の過程を第三者機関に検証させるなど、徹底的な原因究明をすることが検察の責務だ」と訴えた。
東京高検の青沼隆之・次席検事は閉廷後、「捜査・公判に問題はなかったと考えているが、結果として、無罪のマイナリさんを犯人として長期間、身柄拘束したことについては、誠に申し訳なく思っている」との談話を出した。
97年に強盗殺人罪で起訴されたマイナリさんは、2000年に一審・東京地裁判決で無罪とされたが、二審・東京高裁で無期懲役を言い渡され、最高裁も上告を棄却した。再審は、一審の無罪判決に検察が控訴した状態からやり直され、判決主文は「控訴棄却」になる見通し
ここだな。
警察・検察を監視する独立の機関が必要である。マスコミの問題意識の低さが日本をだめにしている。

この程度で偏見助長といわれるわけで、その当否は別にしても、広告屋さんは、この手の問題意識はもつべき。また、日本人の女性もツイッターやFBでこうした声をもっとあげるべきだ。

Marines release new plan to prevent sexual assault

DOD: Number of sex assault reports holds steady in 2011
War declared on sex assaults
WASHINGTON ― The Marine Corps on Monday released a plan aimed at preventing sexual assault and holding offenders and commanders accountable, noting that “despite our efforts, we have been ineffective at addressing and eliminating sexual assault.”
The plan, signed by Commandant Gen. James Amos, addresses many of the issues that victims and victim advocates frequently highlight ― including an undue focus on victims’ personal life and command climates that foster sexual harassment and discourage reporting. It outlines a three-part campaign plan with a goal of “true zero tolerance, effective sustainment, empowered reporting, effective deterrence, engaged leadership and evolved culture.”
Anu Bhagwati, a former Marine officer and current executive director of Service Women’s Action Network, said the plan shows that the Marine Corps “has finally caught up to where the rest of the DOD leadership is, which isn’t saying that much.”
Bhagwati worries that language in the plan and training that focuses on alcohol and “high-risk situations” will only encourage more victim-blaming. To really end sexual assault and harassment, she said, commanders must take a fierce approach and “crush” offenders instead of ignoring reports and promoting alleged attackers.
“There’s just no accountability,” she said.
There were 333 reports of sexual assault in the Marine Corps in fiscal 2011, with a total of 346 victims, according to the plan. Reports can include more than one victim, more than one offender or more than one crime, so the number of reports is not usually the same as the number of victims.
Research shows that between 2 and 8 percent of sexual assaults reports are false reports, according to the report. Still, sexual assault reports in the Marine Corps “are often immediately dismissed as false and focus on the victim’s behavior and reputation rather than the conduct of the offender,” the plan states.
Ariana Klay, a former Marine officer who said she was sexually harassed and raped in 2010 while serving at Marine Barracks Washington, said she’s happy to see “an acknowledgement of some of the circumstances that allow assaults to happen,” but she’s not sure the plan will affect drastic change.

“My gut feeling is that it is just more lip service on the issue,” Klay said. “The Marines know when a senior [officer] is doing something because of political pressure or whether they really care about the issue.”
Klay and three other Marines are involved in a lawsuit against the current and former secretaries of defense, secretaries of the Navy and commandants of the Marine Corps. The suit alleges Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus, Amos and their predecessors “have a high tolerance for sexual predators in their ranks, and ‘zero tolerance’ for those who report rape, sexual assault and harassment.”
Klay is also one of several women featured in “The Invisible War,” a documentary released last week about sexual assault in the military.
Amos last month sent a white letter to all Marines calling sexual assault “an ugly mark on our proud reputation.”
“This crime is not only completely incompatible with our core values of honor, courage and commitment, it is an affront to the basic American principles we so bravely defend,” Amos said in the letter. “I intend to shine a bright light on the crime of sexual assault. It is no longer acceptable to say ‘we will do better.’”
In addition to training for all Marines, the plan includes developing a pre-enlistment waiver history that will be accessible to a Marine’s commander and gender-integrating the drill instructor and school instructor teams “to ‘role model’ female Marine leaders.”

DOD: Number of sex assault reports holds steady in 2011

Published: April 13, 2012
WASHINGTON ― The number of sexual assault reports involving servicemembers remained relatively unchanged in fiscal 2011, according to an annual Department of Defense report on sexual assaults released Friday afternoon.
The 3,192 reported incidents were just 34 more than the previous year, a 1 percent increase. But so many sexual assaults go unreported that Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta estimated earlier this year that the total number is closer to 19,000.
The DOD offers two reporting options for sexual assault victims: restricted and unrestricted. Restricted reports allow victims to seek medical treatment and other services but remain confidential, which means the crimes are not investigated and few details are available.

Unrestricted reports, which allow investigation and prosecution, offer more information. Thirty one percent of those unrestricted reports alleged rape, 30 percent alleged aggravated sexual assault and 25 percent alleged wrongful sexual contact. The remaining 14 percent alleged other crimes, from nonconsensual sodomy to attempts to commit offenses.
More than half of the unrestricted reports involved servicemembers being assaulted by other servicemembers.
Of all the reports, restricted and unrestricted, 261 occurred in combat areas.
Panetta has announced several new measures to combat the crimes, and the DOD report outlined policy changes intended to prevent sexual assaults, increase the percentage of victims who come forward, improve the response and improve system accountability.
“As this report makes clear, we have more work to do to confront this problem,” Panetta said in a written statement. “There are no easy answers, but that makes it all the more essential for us to devote our energy and our attention to trying to confront this challenging crime.”
One of the criticisms the DOD faces is in prosecuting sexual assaults. Because some cases are still pending, it’s difficult to break down the numbers within a year. But in fiscal 2011, 2,449 sexual assault investigations were completed, according to the report. Of those, 349 were determined to be “unfounded,” and 486 were outside the DOD’s legal authority.
Courts-martial charges were preferred in just 489 cases.
Reports in individual service branches varied. The Army saw less than a one percent increase in reports, while the Navy was down 29 reports from 2010. The Marine Corps had 36 more reports in fiscal 2011 than 2010, while the Air Force saw 44 more reports.
