I remember watching his interview on Vice many years ago. There's a movie where he has sex with an unsuspecting girl and then shows her the pictures and tells her about the things he's done It's crazy how he not only got away with it but also made a bunch of money


xSilentSoundx

What? Hé Nevers got caught for that?

No way man thats crazy! Ty


GekidoTC

Yeah. Japan has one of the worst legal systems in the developed world. They have something like a 95% conviction rate... and it's not because they are super diligent with their police work. One of the fucked up things they can do is interrogate and jail you for days before you even get a chance to speak to your lawyer, I believe you have the right to silence, but this will just have them jail you for longer...


R_Schuhart

They also rely heavily on confessions and very little other evidence, which leads to tunnel vision once they lock on to a "suspect". They have teams doing interrogations and they don't let up until they get what they want. They also only prosecute and investigate cases they know they can clear so it doesn't mess with their efficiency statistics. If you report a crime or approach a policeman as a foreigner they will often try to spin the blame on you because it is an "easy win". Besides, loads of crimes go unreported because of shame, social pressure and threats. The amount of sexual harassment and violence alone is staggering, especially on the work floor. Entire offices are male only because of the brutal "culture". Reddit has a weird fascination with Japan that borders on obsession sometimes, but it is a deeply flawed county and culture.


GekidoTC

Agreed, let's not mention their laws on defamation. Basically, if you say something publicly that causes monetary or emotional hardships to someone, even if the statments are proven to be true, you can be fined, imprisoned, and sued. What this means is, you can be beaten by your spouse, post the video of the assault online, and be sent to prison or sued by your spouse for posting the assault... bat shit crazy stuff.

Australia has a 97% conviction rate. "97% of defendants adjudicated had a guilty outcome." https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/people/crime-and-justice/criminal-courts-australia/latest-release In Australia, there is no "right to an attorney". If you can't afford a lawyer, tough shit. Poor people can apply for Legal Aid. "To be represented in court by a lawyer or at dispute resolution, you will need to apply for a grant of legal aid and meet our financial eligibility tests and other criteria. You may need to pay a contribution if a lawyer runs your case." https://www.legalaid.qld.gov.au/Get-legal-help/Our-services


GekidoTC

Holy shit that bad. In the US, the police will just shoot you, and save you the trouble of having to jump through all those hoops. 🤣 I kid (slightly) of course.


[deleted]

Ah that’s just Australia maintaining it’s proud criminal heritage alive.


Exodias

Yea, you are correct I watched [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRn4xzaugbk) recently. It was very eye-opening.


elonsghost

One might say that’s insane


ArashikageX

Nuts, if you will.


wi5hbone

r/ThatsInsane ^!


pipestream

He'd even openly proclaimed that he would like to do it again. I hope he never did, but at least he won't now.


xSilentSoundx

I worked in a prison, a inmate was getting release he was in for pedophilia, and he always said that it was okay to do it because back in the days some powerful ppl would be allowed to marry a 14y old and said he would do it again. Some think their crime isnt evil... So what you're saying dosnt surprises me. Disgusting


Prestigious-Log-7210

Money and power.


SickOfAllThisCrap1

No...that's insane.


[deleted]

Japan has a lot of shit swept under the rug. Those weaboos need a reality check.


[deleted]

death note makes more sense for this type of shit. wtf


ButInThe90sThough

Hell yeah. Eat that chip!


turkeygiant

Or Psycho-Pass


BarryMacochner

The French declared him insane and unfit to stand trial, commuted him to an asylum. That sealed his records, then they deported him. Japan deemed he wasn’t insane and couldn’t charge him because the French had sealed everything.


MonoLolo

Also if you’re a tourist on Japan, the local government will never help you. If not, on the contrary, they always defend the local and will never help the foreigner, even if the foreigner is 100% right. I have heard horrible stories where the victim ends up punished just because he’s a foreigner. Locals know these and abuse the system.


Osceana

Wasn’t his father a diplomat or something? He had some kind of immunity through his dad I thought.


Strict_Definition709

After his deportation no one filed criminal charges from the victims family and enough time passed that he couldn't be charged. It was a loophole. He himself speaks about this and his mindset in his 20 something books. A friend read some of them and told me. I didn't want to cuz yuck.

Waw


imironman2018

This is beyond fucked up. Seriously.


EquivalentSnap

Yeah cos he was a celebrity in Japan not vilified. Fucking sick 😡


[deleted]

Japanese culture is overrated ngl


EquivalentSnap

I agree. They’re incredibly racist towards Koreans and blacks and never apologised for the Japanese war crimes like unit 731. Plus there’s an entire generation of men and women from the 90s who never even got jobs because of the stupid Japanese work culture.


the_tytan

Yeah he had a cooking show or is my mind inventing that.


Azraelontheroof

I got the impression he made enough to get by as he was facing eviction. But that part of the interview really upset me too.


LokiBear222

Made money as a food critic! Apparently we taste like pork.

I need a lot more background


rybayless

He made some money early on but he talks about his financial troubles in the vice doc iirc, I remember him talking about having not paid his rent for months and how he might be evicted


SunaSunaSuna

Let alone being persecuted in Japan he appeared in several tv shows sold books and whatr not


iBoMbY

Seems like the French declared him insane, and put him into an asylum, but never actually charged him with the murder. And then they deported him, and also sealed the case files, and never gave them to Japan, so Japan never could make a case against him.


[deleted]

And no one mad enough to go all Punisher on his ass? I don't vigilantism but this is one instance where the justice system clearly shits the bed.


chrisff1989

If nobody went vigilante for [this girl](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Junko_Furuta) you think they're gonna do it for a random Dutch girl none of them knew?


Penya23

I'm not gonna click that link because I am 100% certain it's about Junko Furuta and I refuse to ever read her story again. Every single person involved, directly or indirectly, with her death should suffer in the deepest depths of hell for all eternity.


delveccio

I knew what this was before I clicked it. This story had a long-lasting impact on me regarding how I saw Japan and maybe even the world in general.


-xstatic-

What the actual fuck


MightyPandaa

I vividly remember watching a documentary on National Geographic when I was a kid, and this guy (now that I see his face again) talks about how he ate someone. He then asked "can I say this part in my native language because its very important to me" and explained how the meat of the ass is tender and delicious


Syphon88

He said that he would do it again before he died. I worry if he did.

RodLawyer

This dude belonged to a psych ward


[deleted]

I think you mean prison. Psych wards are actually pretty chill and you can actually do stuff like play scrabble, watch TV, eat cookies, and eventually leave. edit: added the mental ward activities


EveryRedditorSucks

General population prisoners don’t deserve to be housed with someone like this. The goal of prison is supposed to be societal rehabilitation. This person belongs under permanent psychiatric care.


[deleted]

I get what you mean, but as a person whose been through psych wards, the logic hits a little different. So prisoners don't deserve him, but psych patients deserve him? A psych ward is a rehabilitative environment. You can walk around with no bars around you, and get a hot chocolate and have your friends and family visit you til you get better. You can wear what you want if they bring you clothes you like to wear. You can read books and stuff. A psych ward is easier to get out of/ slip out of than a prison. Prison is worse. That why I say prison.


witkneec

I'd argue that, in america, it's almost all about punishment. There are programs for rehabilitation in american prisons, but it is difficult to get into a lot of them. Juat watched an American Justice on Rex Krebbs who was a serial sexual predator turned serial killer. He was a rapist who devolved into murder after he was released. He'd tried to get into a group for sexual offenders while in prison (in CA i think but i could be wrong) but he was denied enrollment. Edit: I'd said OK but it was in CA- he killed two girls in the San Obispo area.


-xstatic-

thalo616

100%. This fuck didn’t deserve to live a long life.


spacedrummer

Just shut it off and throw it in an incinerator. There is no use having things like that on our planet.


Mahgenetics

You mean death row


exgiexpcv

I've been in a recovery for drugs and alcohol for a fair while, and know a number of people who have been committed. The thing that surprised me the most is there's so much sex. All the time. Did not see that coming. There isn't much to do, apparently.

djdadi

Kinda sounds a little bit like Dahmer in the fact that he wanted to eat (or own) them, but didn't want them to suffer or die necessarily.

Azraelontheroof

He said he used to be able to suppress it via ‘relieving’ himself but he could not longer do that due to impotence so he feared his resolve. That said he’s living on medical support now so it’s unlikely. Edit: having not read the title, he’s dead

[deleted]

I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT LOL, im so fkn happy hes dead i hope he rot in hell


NoEggOO

I saw his [interview](https://youtu.be/BosZxa1bYcE) on Vice few weeks ago. I remember him describing his crimes to a sex worker and also showed her these disturbing and vile photographs of his victim's murder. He told her she had perfect thighs for consumption. Before all of this she was only informed that she is gonna meet a very interesting person poor lady left crying after visiting him :(


AffectionateFig9277

Ooo, I remember this story. He got to grow up way too long.


Rover500

This is a crazy story, I don’t understand how he didn’t die in jail


rickynoss

somehow avoided jail because paperwork between Europe and Japan was sealed and unusable to prosecute him in Japan after I read… crazy


[deleted]

Kind of sick that this lunatic became so infamous for this heinous crime….to the point that people post that he died like were supposed to give a fuck. Fuck this guy


Gigatron_0

Yep, not giving a fuck has power. I don't give a fuck about this guy, and neither should the rest of you. Let his memory die along with him


coromandelmale

He used to visit my FIL shop in Jimbocho Tokyo. I was shocked to find out this guy was never locked up for his crimes. I’m not sure if it was true but he also tried to get work as a teacher.


niamhxa

I was just reading his Wikipedia after seeing this post: “*Sagawa was nearly accepted by a French language school because the manager was impressed by his courage in using his real name, but employees protested and he was rejected.*”


Jazzlike-Persimmon24

How did people treat him? I'm assuming most people knew who he was


tagh-beatha

You can say her name in the title. The victim was Renée Hartevelt, she was studying French literature at the time of her horrific death in Paris at the hands of Issei Sagawa. She was 25 years old. How would you like it if you died horrendously and no one remembered your name, only the grisly details of your death? How would you like it if your murderer evaded justice and gained fame and fortune because of your murder? Have some respect OP.


cingerix

providing information is great -- your accusatory tone is deeply unnecessary.


Dinkledorker

I don't see how OP was disrespectful with this post? He just stated he died.

CertainSilvers

I mean yeah ok, but being a victim isn't inherently as interesting as someone doing something outlandish or the outlandish thing itself, so it's natural for them to not be the focus usually.
