And there we go.
Our wonderful "Somalian" friend got indited on the obstruction of business charge ("威力業務妨害罪"). The maximum sentence on conviction is 3 years or less, and/or a fine of 500k JPY or less. The trespassing charge was dismissed (不起訴処分) as "not serious, victim forgave them, rekt by public opinion, etc" (起訴猶予).
The pre-trial detainment period is a max of 2 months (with 1 months extensions as an option), and bail is possible but extremely unlikely.
I was expecting additional charges to force a visa overstay, but the oft quoted statistic about Japan's conviction rate is fully applicable now.
