A father accused of sexually assaulting his daughter in Aichi Prefecture in 2017 has been found not guilty because the court was unable to establish that the victim's ability to resist intercourse with him was diminished, it has been learned.
The ruling was handed down by the Nagoya District Court's Okazaki branch on March 26.
The defendant had been indicted on a charge of forced sexual intercourse on the basis of reduced mental capacity to resist, relating to incidents involving his daughter at his workplace in August 2017 and at a hotel in September 2017.
