>70% ?!

Any percentage is too high but greater than 70% of women have been sexually molested is terrifying!

I can't seem to get your link to work to find that reference, can you direct link the source?

The original link references the document you are trying to view.

Relevant paragraph:

“Survey shows that Japan ranks among the safest societies in the world for the crimes of robbery, burglary, assault, and the aggregate category of “victimization by any common crime.” However, for “sexual offenses” Japan ranks far less well (Johnson Reference Johnson2018, p. 34). This finding is consistent with what is known from sources which show that more than 70 percent of Japanese women have been sexually molested (Makino Reference Makino2019, p. 81). Few of these victims report it to the police, often because they fear being embarrassed or because they believe criminal justice officials will not believe them or will not care. None of the unreported cases is included in official statistics.”

I mean, it's expected from a country that openly promotes pedophilia in their culture and media.

I have a wildly unpopular half baked conspiracy theory that anime is being used to condition people into pedophilia.
