Woman says archbishop of Tokyo ignored her pleas after priest allegedly raped her

A 64-year-old woman has accused her priest of allegedly raping her after reporting the incident to a Catholic congregation in Nagasaki, criticizing Archbishop Tarcisio Isao Kikuchi for failing to take action despite her pleas. As one of 130 cardinals expected to elect a new pope following Pope Francis's death last month, Kikuchi has drawn criticism for his apparent inaction or lack of accountability regarding the abuse allegations. The woman's lawyer, Kazue Akita, pointed out Kikuchi's role in the conclave and questioned his integrity as he failed to address her complaint promptly when it was brought to the congregation.
