On the 8th, Rina Gonoi (24), a former Self-Defense Force officer who complained of sexual harassment in the Ground Self-Defense Force, taught her third judo trial class for women at Yokohama’s Omigawa Dojo. The trial of the three former third-class ground sergeants accused of forcible indecency against Gonoi, who were dismissed from duty, is expected to conclude on the 30th of this month at the Fukushima District Court. I just ask for what I need to ask for,” he said.

Approximately 20 people participated in the afternoon trial class. Mr. Gonoi was thrown on his back dozens of times by almost everyone. A 4-year-old girl who calls Gonoi her “superhero sister” beamed, “She was kind to me, so even when she was thrown, it didn’t hurt. She was fun.”
