There are still some problems reflected by this quote from Japan Today:
"Police still don't want to deal with rape cases and prosecutors aren't keen to go ahead with them because neither think rape is that serious a crime."
Lawyer Yukiko Tsunoda, criticizing Japan's lax laws on rape. (Yomiuri?Weekly)
I think because of these attitudes and the stigma associated with being the vicitim, some women won't report rapes.
