From the advisory reports of Tochigi prefectural police:
“Around 16:30 an incident occurred in the city where a man walking on the street spoke to a girl primary schooler, saying “Good morning”, etc.
The man was in his thirties or forties, about 170cm, thin with short hair, and wore a black turtleneck, grey vest, cream trousers and carried a black bag.
When somebody you don’t know tries to speak to you, you should run away without talking to them, sound your crime prevention buzzer, and immediately report the incident to police, even if you are at home.”
The original report.
Is it any wonder people are reluctant to help schoolgirls when any attempt to interact with them, let alone help them, by a wicked male at least, is regarded as criminal conduct?

Freedom of speech or even the willingness to protect someone is not shrinking in this situation. The circumstances define the outcome. This situation would probably had led to rape. Don't twist the notion around:
What business can an unknown man have, beside the obvious, to greet a girl who's a stranger to him ? Would any parent be cool with the fact that a stranger is talking to their kid? Why I think they'd approach their kid, and even if the men had not planned anything they'll still see him suspiciously. Oh and the title should have been:
Saying "Good Morning" to school girl's a crime (for men)
But you don't KNOW he would have raped her. You're trying to prove intent without there being a crime attempted. you are treading on a very dangerous slippery slope.
The laws and police in Japan are a joke.
@EvidentManiac..
Ohayo (good morning) can pretty much be said at all times of the day, it's just like hello, and casual.
Stuff like this makes me wish I was born a girl. Girls don't become wanted criminal for talking to people, but guys can't breath the air as a girl without being considered a molester.
....
*Facepalm*
When i was in Japan, those schoolgirls constantly started talking and smiling and waving to *me*!
Damn, now i see how they were just trying to trick me. ;)
soon staring at young girl for more the 5 second will also constitute a crime
It's 8 in Ohio and I'm not kidding.
"It's not as if i was gonna rape her... hard"
It is kinda suspicious for a man to say good morning at 4:30 PM to a total stranger, but if he didn't do anything else, I see no reason for it to be a crime.
But it is Japan...
I like teasing my admirers with jail when we pass each other in the mornings.
So it's really a crime for being polite? just ridiculous
errrr wat
When i walk around or go to the shop or just am on the street if i go into a building or open a door etc etc etc if i make eye-contact with people (and i usually do) i always say "Hello" or "stay well" <- (its something we say in our country).
I dont go around thinking about raping people im just generally a well-wishing and happy person and i want to share the joy.
Also i smile when i make eye-contact with people.
wow the logic is idiotic.. That or I'm the weird one for saying good morning to so many people on the way to workxD fuck I'm probly the weird one, oh well!
oh c'mon where I come from it's polite and friendly to say "hello" or "how're you doing" when walking past people even if they're strangers, stuff like this puts people off of touring the world!
ok so simply put there was a greeting in this case a "good morning" which can be used as a general greeting... but the person is assumed as a criminal for it... could he not simply want something like lets say know the direction to a... w/e that might be to ask something harmless... time for example... hell there are so many things u can ask a random stranger... be it a kid and if it was 4 30 pm... all the kids were going home... so most likely there would be no one but kids...
This is some very disturbing stuff . . . the man is definitely suspicious . . .
So, being polite and all to little school girls is a crime in Japan . . .
OMG does that mean its OKAY to take them to places and . . . . . .
this world is screwed
As long you don't open your mouth, then yes.
Insane.
Saying good morning to people is a crime? I like to say it to random people sometimes myself when I'm in a good mood.
you're goin to jail mister
Huh?
........
Either the man has something going on up his mind or are the community just paranoid.
I am at a loss for words.
"Hey bud. What are you doing here in jail? I went crazy & shot about 50 people."
"I said Good Morning to a school girl"
And then it's the second guy who gets ass-raeped in the prison shower for being a "sex offender."

i believe japan acknowledges that every Japanese man is born a pedophile . thus why they go to such lengths to prevent any pedophilyng .
If you have a mouth then your a potential rapist.
If you're in man in the 30's then your a potential rapist.
If you are a human you are potential rapist.
(females can rape others too)
If you are a man you are a potential rapist.
in the life there are limits also in mathematics but human stupidity doesnt have

why don't we just kill the fool? come on i got the guns we can take him out really quick it'lll be 1, 2 minutes tops.....bring your kid it can be like a father son thing you know?
Yep, that's definitely going too far.
Being considered a criminal for being polite.
And those damn schoolgirls somehow still get raped anyway.
It makes me wonder, what if there's some depressed teenage girl who is about to commit suicide and some nice guy saying 'good morning' is what makes her reconsider and choose to live? We are preventing that.
Wait... why is he saying good morning well into the afternoon? Pretty sketchy!!
Good morning at 4:30 pm? Must be fresh from the basement dungeon.
Really, this is insane. Bad translation perhaps? I hope so.
OMG you're right! How could the guy mix up with day or night. 4:30 PM is way pass morning. He could be trying to pick her up. That guy's definitely a pedo.
The police could have said "suspicious fellows" instead
That's what the report says, I've triple checked it.
so. . . . polite = criminal?
being a good = evil???
something wrong with people these days . . ( ;;=_=)a
Yay! It's Opposite Day!
Ok, estas leyes preventivas ya llegaron demasiado lejos.
Si decirle “buenos días” ya es un crimen, entonces es mejor esperar a la noche y en la intimidad de la habitación decirle “buenas noches, hasta mañana” :3 xD
In Japanese, people often greet each other with o-hai-you. It means something to the effect of "it's early" but you can say it to anyone who you've seen for the first time that day, no matter what time it is.
IIRC the Japanese have very specific time-limitations on what greetings & salutations they use
I don't know the specifics, but something like using ohayou past 10am or 11am is quite the gaffe
Quite. I was going to say that myself. It does sound a little fishy, but then, maybe he had just woken from a deep sleep after playing his fav game all night or watching a "Sailor Moonathon" (in keeping with men preying on schoolgirls) and he really wasn't sure what time it was as he didn't have a watch or something to that effect.
i would hardly call him on this alone, though. Etc might be that he was asking her the time of the day as he realised that the sun was higher in the sky than he first imagined, and then he remarked on what a nice looking time piece she was wearing herself.
ok, now i'm just talking shit cause i'm tired. whatever.
