Groping, when used in a sexual form, is touching another person in a sexual way. Areas of the body most frequently groped include the genitals, buttocks, breasts and thighs. When done without permission or against the will of another person, this can be considered a form of sexual abuse.
On public transportation
Incidents of groping on mass transit, such as trains and buses, are widespread in Japan where suburban trains are often crowded, so that close physical contact is unavoidable. Passengers may use this to their advantage when committing groping. Mass transit companies in Japan and other densely populated areas are taking steps to prevent such incidents. Some trains operators have introduced women-only passenger cars and men-only passenger cars to help combat the problem.
There are some magazines and websites dedicated to groping men and women in trains, where the perpetrators discuss their favorite pastime and share experiences. Groping is a somewhat popular fetish in Japanese pornography.
Concern and Controversy
The issue of groping does not just affect females but males also. Such is the concern of groping in Japan that a film has been made about it. The film I Just Didn't Do It by Japanese film director Masayaki Suo, based on a true story focuses on a male office worker acquitted of groping after a five year legal battle. The film aims to highlight the issue of groping, and challenge the fairness of Japan's secretive legal system which has a high 99% conviction rate against suspected gropers.
