An American teaching English in Japan has been arrested for sexually assaulting at least 40 schoolgirls, videotaping himself abusing them in over 600 tapes. He admits to raping one elementary school girl because she “pestered” him, and explains his indecent filming as “creating a record of their transition to adulthood for them.”
The 69-year-old English teacher, an American long term resident of Fukuoka prefecture, was reportedly initially arrested in January on suspicion of indecently assaulting an elementary schooler whom he had been teaching in a classroom he operated at his home.
Police launched an investigation in response, soon uncovering evidence that he had assaulted another pupil some years ago, charges he admitted, saying “she was pestering me so I did her.”
Police searched his residence, finding over 600 videotapes. Analysing the contents of the confiscated tapes, they found evidence that the teacher had assaulted at least 40 schoolgirls over a 10 year period, most of whom appeared to be in elementary school.
He explained to police that he was “creating a record of their transition from childhood to adulthood to show to them later.”
His modus operandi was to call the girls to his home on some pretext, such as holding a “study session,” and then contrive to film them there. He secured their silence by telling them “Keep this a secret or your parents and teacher will be arrested.”
Police found no evidence he had been selling the tapes, suggesting they were for personal use.
He faces charges of rape, indecent assault and manufacturing child pornography. Police investigations continue.
English teachers in Japan, generally unqualified and completely unregulated, have a reputation for being scurrilous womanisers who substitute the colour of their skin for actual teaching qualifications, although cases of them actually molesting schoolgirls are rare, especially compared to the blighted state of the Japanese teaching profession.
Their already dubious reputation seems unlikely to improve in light of this incident, however.

Does it bother anyone that a 69 year old man is getting more loli pussy than you are?
( Let the down-voting commence. XD )
Anyone can coerce and rape lolis, like anyone can coerce and rape womeon. That's hardly a marvelous achievement and you're bound to end up in jail eventually. The mark of a true master is having THEM come to YOU BEGGING for it.
Well he did say they were 'pestering' him. So maybe they were begging him for it?
Looks like that lucky number 69 ain't so lucky no more.
69 years old huh.......... =/
its wrong and sad =X
he is a scientist and all his videotapes must be published on internet, for educative and science purposes
LOL 69 (years old)
And this is a surprise to anyone why?
Please try to remembe that this man is one out of three hundred million.
I just want to say that as an American I am sickened and ashamed to share the same nationality of that man and of what happened. Also, I am sorry. That is all I can say.
WTF? You must live your life in a misery of self hatred every time you turn on a TV or read a newspaper. Quit acting like an attention-getting emo boy.
consensual doesn't mean shit if they're underage....why is beyond me but hey.
He is living his HentaiDream, funny thing is the girls saw this as something normal after watching all the crazy anime-manga-hentai stuff.
I loled when i heard his explanation, why he was filming them.
Another day in the eastern continent
So a white guy gets charged with rape, but if he was Japanese he would have been given a raise?
No he would get a 3 month suspension and then a raise upon return
ワロス。
Kinda like how SC lacks any kind of journalistic qualifications and tries to hide it with incendiary claims and a thesaurus?
I hate to point this out, but if these girls were REALLY forcibly raped, they would have IMMEDIATELY told someone..... their parents, another teacher, etc.
Something stinks about this story, to be blunt.... I'm betting more than the sexual encounters (at least most of them) were consensual.
Well, the tapes would tell the tale, wouldn't they?
"Damn American attacking our women!"
Is the first thing I imagine 2ch saying to this article.
our "loli".
*fixed
Okay, first off.... as to the elementary school girl who was supposedly forcibly raped.... WHY THE FUCK DIDN'T SHE TELL SOMEONE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FACT?
Something stinks about this, and I am thinking that the 'rape' was not a rape at all.
The more I hear about things like this, the more skeptical I am of these girls protestations that they were raped, even when they are elementary schoolers or even younger than that.
Damn, I wanted to teach English in Japan for a few years. Hope this kind of thing doesn't effect how they view me there.
Well, at least he didn't 'DO' the Kindergarden-ers.
I doubt he wouldn't have thought about it. He got caught, but child rapists are like torrent trackers, you shut down one and another takes his place. Let's hope they'll catch the next one sooner.
Uh... no. The best thing that could be done would be to make pedosexuality legal and start being S K E P T I C A L of these 'rape' allegations.
90% or more of the time, the encounters are CONSENSUAL encounters that went too far for the child's liking, and as I told my daughters..... if that happens, it's your own fault for starting it in the first place!
I also told them that if someone tries to touch them without their permission more than once, to YELL AND SCREAM for help from someone.
I am going to FUCKING KILL THIS PEDO SHIT MYSELF IF I HAVE TO! FUCKER DIE! Die and die fast pedo shit! You make me puke!
go get him tiger
Now this old fart had to go and worsen my chances of working in Japan, if only for a few years.
"most English teachers are unqualified perverts"
What the fuck, where did you find this?
To teach English in Japan you need a FdA followed by a BA in any subject.
Then you need a CELTA or TEFL qualification which in total takes 3 to 4 years.
Otherwise you have no hope of being a teacher in Japan, let alone a teacher.
The only schools which allow TEFL/CELTA only certificates are companies like English First.
And even they only teach pupils 18+.
Most of the teaching sector is 80% female yet whenever they fuck a male/female student its "Oh yeah I would like to be her student" but when its a man its "All male teachers are fucking pedophiles who should be locked up" ergo "All men are fucking pedophiles and should be locked up"
Please stop this double standard and verify that there is a much bigger sector of good working male teachers, you just never hear about them becuase they are never on the public radar.
What you are saying for the first few paragraphs applies to the real teachers who would work in public schools. The one mentioned above, however, is an unqualified one, holding private "study sessions". It is true that many Americans go to countries such as Japan or korea to teach English without any qualifications.
Well in some cases the girls end up just fine later in their lives, read http://newgon.com/CPP/WhyGuilty.htm
livin teh dream
he obviously like the lolis

- Really? Is that the case? That may be the case for American teachers but not all teachers are "unqualified" Someone has a bone to pick or is an extremely racist Japanese person...
This guy is scum. But there really is no reason to be alarmed. This is just one of the rare cases that involves a foreign teacher. It really does pale in comparison with the countless cases involving Japanese teachers. Sadly though, this might give ammunition to some quarters to start painting foreigners in a bad light.
Kiri!!! :3 She was my favorite in Cross+Channel.
...on a related note to the article itself,
600 tapes!? And how did they not find out about all this over the ten year period? I hope he gets a really long sentence for this. Not that he'd be able to serve a really long one to full term, considering his age.
exactly - 40 victims, 600 tapes? that's fifteen tapes a victim. even if he filmed from multiple angles each time, that's a huge number of films for our Humbert Humbert here.
funny how I read that as "rape friend" for some reason
I'm sorry but this is bullshit. When it's a woman doing boys all the comments you see are "fap fap fap" "why couldn't it happen to me" "Kid should be so lucky."
When a man does it now it's all "fuck that bastard" "hope he rots in jail" "pervert!"
Why the double standard?
Because the majority of people that comment on those articles are horny males.(myself included.)
It's hard to take advantage of a young boy considering by the time it happens they more than likely already want it. You can't rape the willing, so to speak.
On the other hand, a crotchety old crusty man taking advantage of girls under the age of consent (to the point of elementary!) of course people are going to be outraged.
Some sort of reverse-kali-morality or something ;)
Seriously though, "elementary" grade spans rather large period of time. It is kid at the begining, and it /often/ is fully, sexually developed person at the end (and more so if we talk about females, that by average develop faster). So what kind of "elementary" are we talking exactly about here ?
Either way, in the end it's all on person-by-person basis. You can find 16yr olds not ready at all (rarely), and 12yr olds fully ready (often). It also depends on area and time period (not so long ago, 20yr old without kids was considered old, unmarried, notwanted obasa - and for a good reason, when average person's lifetime was around 30 years). And generic age of consent set at 13 is still in effect in Japan afaik (overridable by prefectures though)
Of course it's no excuse for what he did - forcing, assault, further blackmailing - no questions/discussion about that. But ... 600 tapes ? That's years of "hardwork". I can't help asking question, how many of his victims were really ones, and how much did media bloat the news in our "pedo-paranoia" times.
An old dude raping little grade school girls. All while pretending to give English lessons.
That's some screwed up shit.
what a cool american isaku!
sick americans...
its not all Americans. shut it.
"English teachers in Japan, generally unqualified and completely unregulated, have a reputation for being scurrilous womanisers who substitute the colour of their skin for actual teaching qualifications, although cases of them actually molesting schoolgirls are rare, especially compared to the blighted state of the Japanese teaching profession."
This statement is blatant racism and gross exaggeration of a problem that exists but is no worse than what Japanese male teachers are doing every day in Japanese schools. All the time you read about Japanese male teachers doing this. Why is there no outrage concerning their motives for teaching and lack of qualifications? The percentage of American male teachers using the job as a way to meet girls is very low. Yes it happens but Japanese men have sex with their students and a rate that would stun Americans back in America. Don't stereotype. Don't exaggerate the big bad American myth. I know several people who've taught in Japan and was one of the best maturing experiences in their life while ex-students still send emails/cards to thank them for English language lessons. It's really bad idea to create a growing monster profile for the western guy teaching English. Most of them are working hard, trying to earn money, and enjoying a challenging life experience. This one man is a creep just like I've read about creepy Japanese men doing the very same thing. School system (culture?) has a problem not doing enough to protect the young girls. They look the other way too much and make it shameful for girls to report incidents.
And where are the videos? Link plox.
AMERICA FUCK YEAH
40 schoolgirls? Hope he will get death sentence like in China!
Don't worry. Kira will punish him!
