Japanese model gets off thanks to large breasts

A bikini model in Japan has been cleared of property destruction after an appeal court heard that her large breasts meant she couldn't have committed the crime.

Serena Kozakura – her professional name – was convicted in 2007 of kicking a hole in a man's door and crawling inside, supposedly because she was angry that he was with another woman.

However, in her defence, her counsel asked the court to compare the size of the hole in the door with Kozakura's 110cm bust – and suggested that she couldn't possibly have made it through the gap. Kozakura maintains that the man made the hole himself.

The presiding judge agreed that Kozakura's bosom made her alleged crime an impossibility, and quashed her conviction.

After the verdict, Kozakura credited her breasts with the victory.
