A Japanese court sentenced Koji Daimon to eight years in prison for raping his daughter, Riho Fukuyama, during her high school years in 2016.
A Japanese court sentenced Koji Daimon to eight years in prison for raping his daughter Riho Fukuyama during her high school years in 2016, a rare public case of familial sexual violence in Japan.
Fukuyama, who disclosed her identity in March 2024, said the abuse began in junior high and caused lasting trauma, including flashbacks and nightmares.
Though Daimon admitted to the act, he claimed she could have resisted, a defense rejected by the court.
Judge Toshiaki Umezawa emphasized the severe, ongoing harm to the victim.
Fukuyama described the trial as emotionally devastating but expressed relief at the verdict and urged other survivors to speak out, stating they are not alone.
Her case is part of a small number of high-profile disclosures in Japan, where victims often remain anonymous due to stigma and systemic barriers.
