He was wandering in Chiyoda in central Tokyo and bumped into a Japanese woman in her early 20s. Under Japanese law, rape or forcible sexual intercourse carries a jail sentence of between five and 20 years. "The most important reason is that there are no extradition agreements between Hong Kong and Japan," Luk said. "He would probably be tried and sentenced according to Japanese law - not under the common law body of Hong Kong."
