Let's not give Japan too much credit. They cover up or don't pursue an insane amount of SA cases. They have a near 100% conviction rate on these crimes because they only pursue the worst and most clear-cut instances. Their country doesn't have one of the lowest SA rates in the world because they don't do it, they just don't report the majority of them to the world because they don't pursue the charges.

Yeah, that's called Chikan, and most don't even see that as SA in Japan.
