Big breasts win verdict for Japanese pin-up
TOKYO - A JAPANESE pin-up model says that her big breasts have not
only boosted her career - they also helped her overturn a court
verdict.
The bikini model, who goes by her professional name Serena
Kozakura, was cleared after a court decided she was too
well-endowed to squeeze into a room through a hole, as she had been
found guilty of earlier.
'I used to hate my body so much,' Kozakura, who has appeared in
product commercials on television, told the private Asahi network
in an interview aired on Tuesday.
'But it was my breasts' that won in court, she said.
The case was splashed through the Japanese media on Tuesday, with
the Asahi network even inviting her to demonstrate how she could
not fit through the opening.
Kozakura, 38, was convicted last year of property destruction after
a man said she kicked in the wooden door of his room and crawled
inside, apparently because he was with another woman.
Kozakura had said the man made the hole himself.
In her appeal, the defence counsel held up a plate showing the size
of the hole and said that she could not squeeze through with her
110-centimetre bust.
'The judges were very good-mannered as they showed no expressions
on their faces. I guess they're well-trained,' Kozakura said. Tokyo
High Court presiding judge Kunio Harada agreed and threw out the
guilty verdict on Monday, saying there was reasonable doubt over
the man's account. -- AFP
