This is the most horrific case in Japanese history, and also a case with an unfortunate ending that has outraged many. In 1988, a 17-year-old girl was kidnapped, tortured, and raped for 44 days by perpetrators who were all minors.
The most tragic aspect of the whole story is that these men received very light sentences, only a few years in prison. The ringleader who caused the girl's death was only sentenced to 8 years.
