The trajectory of the life of Kaihaku Sano, a rising soccer star who had envisioned the pinnacle of his career, took a dramatic turn overnight. In the midst of a wild celebration of his imminent entry into Europe's top flight, he committed a shocking sexual assault on the spur of the moment. It may have been the fact that he was overwhelmed by the impending glory that led to such an outburst. The latest revelation from Kayabuki Sano's agent is that the incident is still under intense investigation and there is no definite conclusion yet, which they are keeping quiet about.
After Japanese law was amended to raise the maximum penalty for rape from three to five years, many legal experts have interpreted the case. The collective crime allegedly committed by Sano Kai Zhou this time is serious, and if the crime is found guilty, his sentence is feared to be far more than five years, and may even ruin his career. Mainz club invested 2.5 million euros in investment, I am afraid that will come to naught.
However, until the official police investigation report comes out, the incident is still up in the air. Did Kaihou Sano really commit the sexual assault, and will he be able to successfully transfer to another school and continue to pursue his soccer dream with this case? All of this is still unknown, and we can only wait and see what the final outcome will be.
