The sentencing hearing for former Kusatsu town council member Shoko Arai, 56, charged with filing a false accusation against Kusatsu Town Mayor Nobutada Kuroiwa that she committed lewd acts in the mayor's office, was held at Maebashi District Court on the 29th.
The presiding judge handed down a guilty sentence of two years in prison, suspended for five years, citing "great damage to the victim's reputation."
In his reasons for the verdict, he pointed out that a recording of Arai's 2015 meeting with Mayor Kuroiwa "does not contain any audio indicating lewd acts or any sound of Arai being agitated."
