Court OK’s faint touching of women’s breasts

The Osaka District Court has acquitted a 57-year-old man arrested for touching the breast of a 25-year-old woman on a train, ruling that the touching was not intentional.
“We have found that the man’s hand touched the breast of the woman for more than a few seconds,” said Presiding Judge Nobuyuki Yokota at the Osaka District Court. “But the hand didn’t necessarily grab her breast.”
The judge added that the touching of the breast was so faint that no other passengers noticed it.
Maybe it’s a constitutional right. . .
Do the courts have nothing better to do than attempt to prosecute men who bump into women on trains?
I hope this guy didn’t lose his job because of this arrest and trial. He’s certainly going to be viewed with a lot of suspicion by prospective employers if he did.
