JR Rape Case??
 

My limited understanding of Japanese shocked me with this article:

asahi.com

If my understanding is correct, then the convict is sentenced to 18 years of jail for raping a girl inside the washroom of an JR Express coach. Am I correct? This happened in broad day light?

I think it is 18 years hard labour and something about threatening her into the mens toilets and raping her but i could only read about 10% of the kanji of that and that was basicly the only meaning i could make out of this i could make out. oh and i think it said that the sentence was given out by the high court so he probably can't appeal to any higher courts.

edit: i just rembered it was osaka high court so nvm the last bit.
