See No Evil
I caught a molester on train yesterday. Grabbed his right hand, gave him full of attitude and yelled because he said “it wasn’t me”. Probably other passangers thought me as a damn strong bitch. sometimes, yeah.
Seemed the guy was frightened and almost cry. I asked him back “wasn’t you? what wasn’t yours, huh?”. I made sure three times and caught his hand while it was on my ass. I told him “I am sure, it was you. but you can say whatever at police office. okay?”.
by the way, you should keep holding his hand until police arrival. Once you release the hand, you’ll lose chances to charge him.
I asked other passangers to call police. but nobody responded. the guy who was standing next to me started pretending to sleep. Everybody looked the floor or window.
I was sad. and upset. I was upset with the molester of course but, I had another anger against other passangers.
Sometimes I hate living in this country. People igonore pregnant woman or old people on public transportation. People don’t make a single call for the woman caught a bad guy. Especially guys over 30’s are worst.
I sighed deeply, said “fine, whatever. I call by myself”. then, picked up my cell and made a call by myself. Police sent officers to trainstation. He was caught, I told police to please charge him. signed papers as a victim/arestee.
Many of victims don’t try to charge because it takes 4hrs to make a police report and other papers. They ask police to sermonize and release. It is the easiest way, then. I think it is a part of the reason why molesters never die. They need punishiment. Punish them hard!
Anyway, I was disappointed in all passangers there. Probably not only them, most of people in this city Tokyo are disappointing, maybe.

It’s admirable that you stuck up for yourself. I think it’s disgusting that no one even tried to help you in a train full of passengers.
But what you did will make that bastard molester have second thoughts about trying to feel up a girl next time.
Cheers to you. :)
A good swift kick to the guy’s delicates would probably have made a great deterrent, and saved you 4 hours to boot
I remember going to school in tokyo, several years ago…I know that japanese women have big troubles with molesters, and I’ve experienced it myself,too. there’s a lot of oyajis on trains and subways that can’ keep their hands to themselves; the first time it happened to me I had to call the police by myself,too,cause noone on the train reacted, and when the officer called my hostmom to pick me up, she was really angry at me for letting that guy get arrested. so, the next time I got harrassed on the train I didn’t dare to complain, I just grabbed his hand and twisted it so hard that the bones made a weird sound. that guy didn’t say anything, but he turned pale and mourned a bit and got off the next station. I dont know if that was the right thing to do,but it seemed justified. anyway, there’s a lot of idiots no matter where you live, the only difference is the type of idiocy you have to deal with. don’t let that spoil your life in tokyo. it’s such a gorgeous town.

Go go Coco! A friend of mine in Kyoto once saw a man hitting a woman on a public street. She walked over and told the man to stop. He ignored her. Bad move, since this particular woman is not only unignorable but also a black belt in karate. You can pretty much speculate as to the rest of the story.
Good job, Coco. Respect
Good for you Coco. As you know, I’m a guy and I even got my ass felt in Japan on a train! I turned around and gave him the evil look and he actually started sweating. Maybe next time I should play gay and yell out “oh baby!” But then again, in Tokyo I’m sure he would get excited and follow me which would be no good.

Hey Coco, I just got in to Tokyo and obviously my train ride went a lot smoother than yours. Have you seen the 1970s move The Incident? It’s all about people trying to mind their own business on the subway. Very disturbing. Good job filing a report!
People tend to abuse closed-space environments like trains (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frotteurism). I’m glad you nabbed the pervert and taught him a lesson.
it would be nice if you could do all of the above at once. get him arrested, break his arm, kick him where the sun doesn’t shine.
good on you for teaching him a lesson, and standing up for yourself.
