Outrage at acquittals in rape cases sparks calls to fix Japanese law

TOKYO - Ms Miyako Shirakawa was a 19-year-old college student when she was raped by an older man. She said that when the attack started, her mind went blank and she froze up.

"When I became aware, he was on top of me," said Ms Shirakawa, 54, now a psychiatrist who treats sexual abuse victims.
