The controversy over the recent mishandling of a case of gang r**e amongst its students by a Kyoto university has intensified with the news that one of the rapists had just started working as a middle school teacher, and the university apparently deliberately refrained from reporting that they investigated him (which they did not report to police) so he could continue working as a teacher.
The university, the Kyoto University of Education, trains teachers, and amongst those arrested recently for gang violating a fellow student at the university recently was a fresh graduate who had just started working at a local middle school.
He had apparently just started working as an assistant teacher at the school after receiving his licence, but after the details of his participation in the crime emerged the university not only did not report him to police, it did not even inform the local educational board about him.
Considering the remarks of the university head, it seems likely this was done to protect his career, and most likely also the reputation of the university. Whether the university took this into account in refraining from bringing in police at all is an open question.
With the media storm which ensued, the university finally decided to report that he had been suspended (although it seems he managed to graduate and start work despite being suspended months ago all the same) to the educational board. The teacher then immediately resigned, “for personal reasons.”

It seems the number one target for reducing sex crimes in Japan should be the teaching profession, as it looks to be packed with rapists, chikan and lolicon…
From where I come from, a teacher like that is done for…as far as his career is concerned, not to mention a prison sentence.
And if the courts will let him go, the people will “sentence” him.
The article also state that incident happen as a result wild frat party in which one male student took advantage of another girl who was pissed. Things got out of hands as 5 other students joined in.
This kind of s♥♥t happen a lot elsewhere and most probably don’t get reported. (it is even a main plot of a film called Rule of attraction).
But if this happen in Japan, it get reported as something unique.
Yeah they wanted to protect the teacher’s job -_-, what is it with these schools and fucking reputation, their reputation becomes s♥♥t if they DON’T report this crap and they’re found out later on
So what’s worse, a rapist teaching middle school or a terrorist teaching college? Look up Bill Ayers and get back to me…
theaching should be banned ASAP!
