A young woman is suing the Japanese government for 11.15 million yen because she claims she was pressured to resign from the nation’s Air Self-Defense Force (ASDF) after being sexually molested by a superior.

According to the woman who was an airman 1st class when the incident occurred, an ASDF staff sergeant called her at 2:30 a.m. one day and asked her to meet him. When she did, the sergeant fondled her breast. When the woman told her direct superior of the incident, he advised her to resign from the ASDF.

“I’d like to fight against the state in order to restore my personal rights and dignity as a woman,” the plaintiff said in a statement.

Representatives of the ASDF declined to comment pending the results of an internal investigation.
