First off, the impact of rape is not just the time it takes to occur. In general, with significant support, it can result in years of trauma and PTSD, and unlike your claim that trauma does not necessarily ever go away. That’s with significant support. For many victims the results can be life destroying: suicide rates, drug abuse, crime, etc are all massively higher among victims of abuse, especially during childhood. So dismissively claiming the trauma of rape is over once it’s over is both wrong, and frankly sick. For the remainder of your point it is really important to note here that there is plenty of evidence showing that rape is significantly underreported in Japan. Similarly things that would be considered sexual assault in the US, UK, and NZ (the countries I have direct awareness of) are not treated as such in Japan. My partner spent a bunch of time living in Japan and said she just had to get used to being groped in public places, trains, elevators, etc as after her first complaints were ignored it became clear what she experience was not considered criminal. To my knowledge her experience was not unique.
