Tokyo (CNN)At first, it had seemed to Shiori Ito like a dream opportunity.
As an aspiring young reporter, she says a prominent journalist had taken an interest in her career, and invited her out to dinner.
The invitation was made while they were both in the US, but it wasn’t until they had both returned to Tokyo that the meeting took place. According to Ito, they went for sushi, and at some point in the evening she went to the bathroom. It would be the last thing she remembered from the restaurant.
“The last thing I remember is being in the bathroom. I woke up with this intense pain and he was on top of me,” she recounted to CNN.
“I had no memory how I got there, why, and I (had) never lost my memory like before.
“So, yeah, he was raping me.”
