I can't tell you about rape, but I have a (surprisingly) large number of friends who have spent many years in Japan teaching English. They definitely have a different set of cultural morals when it comes to all sex.
Not two weeks ago, in fact, one friend posted about an incident at his current junior high school: a boy ejaculated all over the books and school supplies of a girl in his class. It was not his student, so he doesn't know whether the intent was overtly malicious, or some twisted modern day version of flirting-by-pulling-her-hair-on-the-playground... but what he does know is there were zero repercussions. The administration treated it as a "boys will be boys" type of thing. They didn't even bother notifying either set of parents.
