The defendant exploited his position as a business partner to persistently demand sexual relations

from the victim.

He forced her into a situation where she could not refuse— Objection!

Defense counsel, proceed.

Could you specify exactly what you mean by 'a situation where she could not refuse'?

The victim was unable to resist due to the fear that her contract would be terminated.

In other words, there was no actual act of intimidation.

It was psychological pressure leveraging his professional status.

Please look at Exhibit A-12.

This is the request for contract renewal that the victim herself sent to the defendant.

You drafted this text yourself, didn't you?

It says, 'I value our relationship with your company and look forward to our continued business.'

That is what is written here.

I was scared...

I had no choice but to write it that way!

Then why did you meet with him alone for dinner again the following day?

Was that for the sake of your job?

If my contract is terminated, I won't be able to support my sick husband!

I couldn't resist him.

Don't you understand the suffering of a woman who is silenced by pressure?

Victim sentiment and factual findings are two separate issues.

The question is whether she was ruled by fear, or if she continued the relationship of her own volition to maintain her contract.

At the very least, the situation is not as simple as the prosecution claims.

Hey, lawyer!

Don't you have a heart?!

I am not a person; I am a lawyer.

Ms. Tsukino!

Do you really think that was the right thing to do?

What do you mean?

You must know, just by looking at her.

And?

You can tell just by looking at her.

She had no choice but to comply in order to support her sick husband.

So you're telling me to ignore the contradictions in the testimony?

That's not what this is about.

Then what is it about?

I'm asking if you have any empathy for people's pain.

My job is to ensure my client wins.

You're insane.

If you disagree with that, then you should change the judicial system itself.

I gulp down liquor that burns my throat.

I feel nothing.

Even making the drinks stronger doesn't change anything.

I don't even know what stimulation is anymore.

I have no idea how to quench this thirst.

Hello?

Is this Ms. Tsukino?

Yes, it is.

A suspect named Kenji Abe has requested you specifically to represent him.

What are the charges?

Quasi-forcible sexual intercourse.

There's also a suspicion of drug use.

When can I meet with him?

Tomorrow afternoon is possible.

Understood.

Kenji Abe, bar owner.

He allegedly served a regular female customer a drink spiked with drugs and took her to a hotel while she was semi-conscious.

He was indicted for taking her there and committing sexual assault.

The prosecution argues it was a premeditated and malicious crime.

The victim admits to entering the hotel with him.

No drugs were detected, and the security footage doesn't show her resisting.

However, it's a fact that she was in a state of extreme intoxication.

The prosecution is going to focus their attack on that point.

Counselor,

Do you think I did it?

Not particularly.

I'm just your defense attorney.

It doesn't matter to me if you're a criminal or if you're just trying to escape sentencing.

My job is to make sure my client wins.

That's reassuring.

In exchange, if you want to win, don't say anything unnecessary.

I see.

Don't answer anything beyond what you're asked.

Don't speak based on conjecture.

If you don't remember, stick to saying you don't remember.

Understood.

The prosecution will appeal to emotion.

They'll create a 'pitiful victim' to sway the judge.

You must remain unshakable.

Counselor...

You're interesting.

What is?

Try to look a bit more relaxed.

I've seen plenty of people like you.

Well then,

Shall we make a bet?

Leave it to me.

I'm counting on you.

And so, the trial began.

The victim claims she suffered a loss of consciousness immediately after consuming alcohol provided by the establishment.

The defendant then took the victim, who was unable to resist, to a hotel and committed sexual...

...assault.

Objection!

Counsel, proceed.

What is the basis for concluding she was unable to resist?

The victim had lost the capacity to make sound judgments.

And what about the drug test results to support that claim?

Nothing was...

...detected.

In other words, there is no objective evidence indicating drug use.

We have the victim's testimony.

You're going to convict someone based on testimony alone?

I have a question for the victim.

At the time of the incident, you were involved with a man other than your boyfriend, correct?

Objection!

Counsel, what is the intent of this question?

It goes to the credibility of the victim's statement.

You may proceed.

Please answer the question.

Yes.

Your relationship with your boyfriend wasn't going well at the time of the incident.

You sent this message to a friend.

So you're saying you wanted any man who would hold you.

That is a character assassination.

It is not.

I am merely confirming the possibility that the victim was seeking male companionship on the night of the incident.

You entered Abe's establishment of your own volition and stayed until near closing time.

Furthermore, security footage shows you moving to the seat next to Abe on your own accord.

Weren't you interested in him?

That's...

That's completely one-sided.

Objection.

During the search of the defendant's residence, foreign-made sedatives were seized.

These drugs contain components that are difficult to detect through standard testing.

This is consistent with the victim's severe impairment of consciousness and fragmented memory loss.

The defendant was in possession of the drugs.

And the victim fell into an abnormal state of intoxication.
