The military acknowledged the assaults and apologised to Gonoi after she submitted a petition signed by more than 100,000 people demanding an investigation of her ordeal.
In a rare example of a victim going public with allegations in Japan, ex-soldier Rina Gonoi, 23, has said she was assaulted by multiple male colleagues during a training exercise last year. On Thursday, according to the Asahi Shimbun daily, four personnel in their 20s and 30s were dismissed, along with an officer in his 40s who allegedly gave them instructions.Public broadcaster NHK reported that the head of the Ground Self-Defense Force, General Yoshihide Yoshida, said he felt "a strong responsibility as the leader of this organisation for causing sad and painful feelings" to Gonoi.
In September, the army acknowledged that Gonoi routinely faced sexual harassment and assault at her unit and during training sessions.
