South Korean judge orders Japan to compensate ‘comfort women,’ victims of wartime sexual slavery
A South Korean judge has ordered the Japanese government to pay damages to 12 victims of war-time sexual slavery, in a historic ruling over war atrocities that have strained the two countries’ relationship for decades.
The victims sued the Japanese government in 2016 for kidnapping, sexual violence, and torture during World War II. They had been in their teens and early 20s during Japan’s occupation of the Korean peninsula, and were subjected to dozens of forced sexual acts by Japanese troops every day, the judge said in the ruling Friday.
