The Straits Times – 5 Mar

Tokyo – A PIN-UP model says her big
breasts not only boosted her carrier but also helped her overturn a
court verdict.
The bikini model, who goes by her
professional name Serena Kozakura, had been accused of crawling
into a man’s room through a hole and was found guilty of property
destruction last year.
She was acquitted on Monday after
the Tokyo High Court decided she was too well-endowed to have
squeezed through the hole.
“I used to hate my body so much,”
said Ms Kozakura, 38, who has appeared in product commercials on
television.
“But it was my breasts” that won
the court, she told the private Asahi Television Network in an
interview aired yesterday.
The case was splashed across the
Japanese media yesterday, with Asahi even inviting the model to
demonstrate how she could not have squeezed through the
opening.
Her accuser had claimed that she
kicked in the wooden door of his room and crawled inside,
apparently because he was with another woman.
But Ms Kozakura said the man made
the hole himself.
In her appeal, the defence counsel
held up a plate the same size as that of the hole and said the
model could not have squeezed through it with her 110cm
bust.
“The judges were very good mannered
as they showed no expressions on their faces,” said Ms
Kozakura.
“I guess they are
well-trained”
Presiding judge Kunio Harada who
threw out the guilty verdict, said there was reasonable doubt over
the man’s account.
