Sex slaves 'were not coerced' says Japanese Prime Minister

Japan’s prime minister caused outrage in the Far East today after suggesting women who worked in brothels for the Japanese military during World War II had not been forced to do so.

Filipino Hilaria Bustamante, 81, said she was 16 in 1942 when Japanese soldiers stopped her on a road, seized her by the arms and legs and threw her into a truck “like a pig.”
