Since when is "harassing" someone a crime?

  I believe they’re referring to Chikan which is estimated to have happened to 2/3 of women who ride the train in Japan and the act violates several Japanese laws.

  It is when the harassment is of sexual nature.

    Actually all harassment is a crime in the US. Just insulting people and saying lewd things isn’t harassment, though.

      I don't think this is true. There are 50 states, each with different laws and definitions of acts and crimes. I am not aware of any federal anti-harassment laws except for those governing workplaces, and even those do not consider all harassment to be illegal.

  Are you serious? Groping someone on a train is sexual assault
