Thanks for the correction. He was in jail for 10 months during the investigation, until he was finally released on bail. I think I conflated that with the sentence that he was ultimately handed (with some credit for time served).

So he did serve some time. I'm not sure though if there is a big distinction between jail and prison in Japan like there is in the US though.
