The Tokyo High Court on Wednesday rejected an appeal by an Australian woman who accused the Japanese police of "second rape" by mistreating her case in 2002.

But she said she was resolved to take the case to the Supreme Court, continuing her fight for Y11 million ($181,698) in compensation.

"I am very disappointed with the ruling," said the Australian, who uses the pseudonym Jane. "This is a matter that concerns not just me but also everyone in Japan."
