The station name is unknown, but this authentic video has gone viral for being “erotically pitiful”. It captures a timid-looking office lady being groped (forcibly touched) by a middle-aged man at night.

Penalties for groping actually vary by prefecture.
Groping is not treated as a uniform crime across the country. Acts involving physical contact are handled as violations of prefectural ordinances on the prevention of public nuisance, and penalties vary by municipality. For instance, Tokyo imposes “imprisonment for up to six months or a fine of up to 500,000 yen,” whereas Aichi Prefecture imposes “imprisonment for up to one year or a fine of up to 1 million yen,” meaning the severity of the punishment changes when crossing prefectural borders.
In cases involving egregious conduct—such as inserting a hand inside someone’s underwear or engaging in prolonged touching—the act constitutes the crime of “non-consensual indecency” (renamed from “forcible indecency” following the 2023 Penal Code amendment) and is subject to severe penalties, specifically a term of imprisonment ranging from six months to ten years.
