Man convicted of abduction for running away with 13-year-old girlfriendMainichi Daily
A man who ran away to Tokyo with his 13-year-old girlfriend last year has been convicted of abduction.
The Tokyo District Court has sentenced 25-year-old Atsushi Tominaga to 18 months in prison, suspended for three years, for abduction of a minor.
"The girl was still young and didn't have the ability to make sound judgments. His actions adversely affected her education. The defendant is guilty, even though the girl agreed to go with him," Judge Yoichi Omura said as he handed down the ruling.
The judge explained that the term was suspended because Tominaga had not taken the girl against her will.
Tominaga took the girl from her home in August last year after her parents opposed their relationship, according to the ruling, before taking her on a 16-day trip around Kobe and Shinjuku-ku in Tokyo.
