In this case, does the punishment fit the crime, or does the judge here seem to be way over the edge? It seems to me that for awhile now, some judges just go nuts when an unusual case comes along. In this instance I think the judge ruined this mans life over what the law defines as a minor crime. This kind of heavy handedness will only add to the already present anger agaist government spying on citizens, and in due time, there will be a judicial backlash.

He got 180 days in jail. Our soldiers have been in Iraq that long. How is this ruining his life? Or am I missing something here?

Nope. Not in my opinion.
He violated her privacy. If some creep did this to my little girl, his trip to the woodshed wouldn't be pretty, I'll tell you that. He's be forced to operate his camera from a hospital bed.

He is now listed as a sex offender, and has to place a sign in his yard for the rest of his life. Seems very heavyhanded to me especially when you consider the fact that there is some chance she was going along with his game. Plus hes no longer allowed to own any video eqpt. No more vacation/family/birthday pictures...The judge just seems to have gone way too far with this case. Fine him for the misdemeanor, and put him on six months probation. Thats all. He had no prior record.

He is now listed as a sex offender, and has to place a sign in his yard for the rest of his life. LOL. First, he is a sex offender. Second, he has no right to be in the US- he is there at our humour. If he doesn't like it he can move on to the next place or simply back home.
You know- I can guarantee NONE of this would have happened to him if he hadn't been making his dirty little tapes.
To: GirlyGirl2003
I say let him complete his jail sentence, then deport him. He is a foreign national, and now a registered sex offender. It is no longer convenient or desirable that he remain here.
He's really lucky that the victim wasn't my daughter.

Who is paying for all this? He needs to just go home and stay there.

And I just bet, that YOU think that ALL women, who are raped, deserve what they got...right ?
What on earth is wrong with you ? Why do you assume that that poor girl " went along with it " ? She freaked out, upon finding the hidden cameras and broke down on the stand.
He " ruined " his own sick, perverted life and should be deported, as soon as his sentence is served.
To: malia
Agreed.
I really don't want to pay for keeping him in jail for 180 days.... our jails aren't bad enough to justify keeping this pervert around. Deport him.

This is not some guy who was walking along the street, noticed that a woman had left her bedroom curtains open while she undressed, and in a moment of weakness took advantage. This is a guy who went to a great deal of trouble to set up video equipment, and collected 150 tapes of his victim -- meaning that, if he filled each tape, a minimum of 300 hours of footage. That goes way, way, way beyond casual voyeurism.

"...believed he had permission..."??? The jury didn't buy it. Both judge and jury appear to know a pervert when they see the disgusting evidence of one. His victims may even be on the web. It's rape of their dignity and privacy. His sentence doesn't seem onerous enough to me.

Deport him and be done with it.

The newsgropus are as full of such pictures as the web is of the intrusive, ubiquitous X-10 Camera popunder ads.
But the funny thing is that if the product were a GUN, the manufacturers and advertisers would be hunted, pilloried, and hounded.
Funny how that works.

I think they should nail his, um, equipment, to a stump and give him a rusty knife. In lieu of jail time. The deport him back to Japan.

In this instance I think the judge ruined this mans life over what the law defines as a minor crime. I have four daughters, one is married and one is in college. It doesn't matter - let some pervert do this to any of them and see what his sentence is. This jerk got off lightly. When growing up, look at my profile to see where, there was a teacher who "took advantage" of a student. Her brothers took care of him; he could have gotten a part with the Vienna Boys Choir after they finished with him. The local doctor said he could not have done a better job.

Hey! You MUST learn tolerance and how to be sensitive to this poor fellows problem that obviously stems from some bad childhood experience. Now, have you learned that? You have? Good! Then use this:
