Yasuhiro Muraki, one of the three Tokyo High Court judges who decided on the continued detention of Govinda Mainali on 19 May, 2000 is behind bars. Muraki, 43, who detained Govinda in the highly publicised and controversial "office lady murder" of Yasuko Watanabe, is presently in the same Tokyo Detention Centre as Mainali. His crime: paedophilia. Even as Govinda's attorneys submitted the statement of grounds for the final criminal appeal on 5 July, the disgraced High Court judge faces the possibility of impeachment for seeking stimulation with teenage prostitutes and for having paid sex with a 14-year-old in January. Muraki told judges that he was weak-minded by nature and was struggling to cope with the high pressure world of criminal courts, and so sought stimulation with under-age girls.
