As the English translation of Shiori Ito's book, Black Box, is published, she says her fight for justice goes on.

It has been over four years since Ito Shiori accused one of Japan's better-known journalists of raping her in an upscale Tokyo hotel. Ito had begun nervously reaching out to the Japanese and foreign media, not to avenge herself for what happened, she said, but to challenge public attitudes regarding sexual assault. Her proposal for a press conference was initially rejected by the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan (full disclosure: I was on the events committee at the time), which was nervous about airing unproven claims.
