3:43Now PlayingA Japanese court has found three ex-soldiers guilty of sexually assaulting a female colleague.
The landmark verdict comes after Rina Gonoi, 24, caused a public outcry and drew international attention when she put her story on YouTube in 2022.
Fukushima prosecutors then brought charges against the three men in March, reversing their earlier decision.
