Pedophile doctor let off with reprimand
A Japanese doctor was gently "reprimanded" after he was caught engaging in paid sex with a 14-year old child. Hospital directors did not want to fire the doctor after the case came to light, because he was one of two specialists in the hospital, and they feared that his dismissal would result in "adverse" effects for its patients.
On Friday, the National Hospital Organization stepped in to suspend Yoshimasa Fujita for three months from Friday, which still seems woefully inadequate to me.
These kind of news stories infuriate me, and I always wonder if I should relay them. On the one hand, they're disgusting, so do we really need to disseminate them? On the other hand, I think it's valuable to be infuriated. If the law realizes that parents will not tolerate child abuse by any kind, perhaps punishment will become more harsh and sex offenders will think twice before they act.

bluepaintred said...and a big problem is that when i teach my boys about their private parts and good verses bad touch, I always told them that mommies and doctors have to see.

Please read more carefully before you start having irrational fears. This doctor was accused of hireing a prostitute via the internet, not molesting one of his patients.
@ Kristin Scott:
I personally live in North America, as many of this blog reader's do. How will becoming infuriated at another country's (misguided) social norms do anything to protect children closer to home? If this happened in the US, the doctor would have lost his licence at the very least. To the Japanese readers of this blog, do something proactive to change the laws of your country! It is disturbing.

Joshua Black said...The real problem is our society's view of sex. We think that it is something that we have a right to, rather than something that God has given us with rules that govern it's use. The doctor would never have been in this qundry if he had simply followed God's good rules about sex.
