There is the statute of limitations... 7 years I believe for all but capital crimes...
sam, this happened in the 40s... if you plan on prosecuting those that participated in it, you'll be digging up a lot of graves...
And tell me... how were those american GIs supposed to know that the women in the brothel had been kidnapped? I'm sure the number of men who spoke japanese back then were minimal... so how exactly were they supposed to know?
