The story
The Metropolitan Police Department has arrested 28-year-old Ayato Takahashi on suspicion of sexually assaulting a woman in her 20s whom he met through a dating app, at his apartment in Tokyo’s Shinagawa Ward. He reportedly told the woman he “wouldn’t let her go home” and kept her from leaving his apartment. According to reports, the victim came forward to police after using AI to help her sort through what had happened — that consultation is what led to the case being reported and coming to light. On 5ch, the thread saw discussion both praising AI for helping push the victim to file a report and debating the risks lurking in dating-app encounters, alongside a flood of posts about the suspect’s photo and identity.

He's probably a Kenmo guy (a poster from 5ch's anti-corporate "Kenmo" board, stereotyped as cynical/contrarian)
This guy's 185cm?
Were the cops standing behind him volleyball players or something?
That's basically the same as getting lured overseas with a "great job offer" and then abducted
The law's messed up
Isn't there any news about male victims?
Well, he just shouldn't have raped her. Simple as that.
If you get abducted after being lured overseas with a "great job," you're obviously the victim
Excuse that kind of logic and you get a world where the bad guys run wild
That said, like with the Abe daughter thing, it's a bit much that more and more people can't even work this stuff out on their own.
If that's the case, she should've just asked the AI beforehand how dangerous it is to go to some guy's place right after meeting him.
The smarter AI gets, the more humans might end up dependent on it and stop thinking for themselves.
Try actually using AI for a specific case sometime.
It's not just a yes/no on whether to go or not — it'll walk you through how best to explain things, how to get the police to actually take it seriously, even effective ways to write up your statement.
AI's basically like getting expert advice.
You're more likely to be taken seriously by the police if you organize the whole story with AI first before you go in.
These days AI's just a tool everyone uses — calling it "dependency" is such a stretch.
how do people manage to misread that so badly?
These days a lot of marriages actually start from apps.
And dating sites are basically what used to be called "telephone clubs" (old dial-in hookup services), right?
There's no way decent people are on there.
Nah, apparently a lot of people on matching apps these days are the cringe, dead-serious-about-marriage type.
I actually know an unattractive couple who matched that way and ended up getting married.
It's probably nothing but pros (sex workers) on there anyway
If you're young, isn't it better to just approach cute girls on the street?
Guess it means women today are more guarded compared to the '90s.
Nah, these days people seem to use it about as casually as what used to be a group blind date (goukon).
The Heisei era was great.
Star Beach (a late-'90s/2000s mobile dating site) was wild back then
but I bet all kinds of incidents were happening behind the scenes.
The i-mode boom really was the golden age — Star Beach and all that (nostalgic)
If she was a minor, the Heisei era's got nothing to do with it lol
You can't say that lol
These days you get reported just for sitting next to someone on the train.
These days being ugly might actually be the safe option
No one's taking chances with you, so no arrests either.
How ugly are you guys, seriously lol
I guess this is more what you'd be jealous of
This is AI-generated, right?
Don't fall for this one
A guy who thinks he's better looking than he is.
It's Yoshio Kojima with long hair lol (a Japanese comedian known for his bald head and loud gag routines)
Background and Key Points of This Story
A July 2023 revision to Japan’s Penal Code created the new offense of “non-consensual sexual intercourse, etc.,” which allows prosecution of sex acts that exploit a situation where consent is difficult, regardless of whether violence or intimidation was used. Dating and sex-crime troubles stemming from matching apps have notably increased in recent years, prompting repeated warnings from the National Police Agency and local governments. Opinion in the thread split over how to view the fact that the victim consulted AI before filing a police report — some praised the AI for giving sound advice, while others worried that “more and more people can’t think this through on their own.” Meanwhile, the view that “if she willingly entered a private room, she must have consented” is a common misunderstanding: it differs from the legal principle that whether consent existed can still be questioned even after someone has entered a private space.
