Recruiting
A man (33) who touched and licked the “lower parts” of a schoolgirl (her thighs or knees, perhaps), of but fourteen years of age, has been arrested, we hear. The thigh-lover did at least get a bargain: his licking was preceded by a cash payment of only ¥10,000, perhaps offset by the riskiness of his chosen pastime.
A lady (34), formerly a nurse, who got to know a schoolboy in her netgaming sessions, and then blackmailed him into joining her at a hotel, has been arrested for molestering the poor lad, who was half her age.
She excuses herself with the legend “I did it because he was a cutie”.
A man (44) who took fright at the terrifying sight of a Chihuahua being taken on a walk, and then proceeded to kick the 4-month-old little dog to death, has been arrested for destruction of property.
A figure skating coach (56) who forced himself upon his female student (13) in a particularly unpleasant crime, has been arrested, and offers some distinctly unconvincing statements in his defence.
A landscape gardener (51) has been nabbed for stealing two pairs of pants from a veranda, but this turned out to be the tip of the iceberg, for searches on his arrest led to another 2,000 pairs being found.
“I wanted to see ladies underwear”. A vice-principal who used a Sony PSP, modified to include a camera, to take upskirt photos of schoolgirls on a train has finally had his long running string of voyeuristic excesses brought to a close.
We hear that the deputy headmaster (59) of a Nagoya technical college was arrested for violating public nuisance laws aimed at preventing such covert photography, though it seems this arrest comes late in his career of serial voyeurism – he apparently was caught for same in 2001, but managed to get off with just a pay cut. No details on whether this is a Sony authorised PSP accessory.
Mainichi reports that a man who doused himself in kerosene after police responded to a domestic altercation, and was subsequently taken into custody by police, was then offered a light for a cigarette; he caught fire, violently, and later died in hospital. The police were kind enough to provide both cigarettes and lighter. The various policemen involved, when asked about just how he caught fire, responded that they “weren’t looking”. Currently, the possibility that some ash from his spent cigarette got into his clothes is being investigated. Nagoya police will surely have to answer some interesting questions as a result of this.
The article drily remarks that the station was a no smoking area. The station chief also has this to add: “For him to come into the station without changing, and be permitted to smoke in a no smoking station, was inappropriate”.
