Mansanity

A Japanese pin-up model says that her big breasts have not only boosted her career — they also helped her overturn a court verdict.

“I used to hate my body so much,” Serena Kozakura, who has appeared in product commercials on television said. “But it was my breasts” that won in court, she said.

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 (44-inch) 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.
