Yamaguchi has denied any wrongdoing in published articles and on social media, saying they had sex by consent. He filed a countersuit this year, demanding she pay $1.2 million for allegedly damaging his reputation by accusing him of rape. Ito and her supporters said they hope her victory will promote awareness that will help create a society in which sexual victims don't feel intimidated or isolated.
She made headlines in May 2017 when she requested a court-appointed citizens' panel to review the prosecutors' decision to drop the case. In her book and interviews, Ito has said police obtained an arrest warrant for Yamaguchi, but he was never arrested.
