A Pokémon collector was apparently so keen to catch ’em all that he forcibly cut the Pokémon off a 6-year-old girl’s clothing with scissors.
The incident began with a 6-year-old girl playing by her house in Yamagata prefecture. She was approached by two young men “with the air of highschoolers” on bicycles.
Saying “I’ll take these as mementos,” one of the pair used scissors to cut out the three Pocket Monsters on the girl’s T-shirt (not pictured), leaving her with a 10cm hole over her chest. The girl was unharmed.
The little girl reported the attack to her parents, and her father reported the matter to police. Police are treating the incident as a malicious prank and are looking for the suspects with a view to charging them with assault.
They have increased patrols in the area in case any more collectors appear.
poor l♥♥i…
Gotta Catch em all
Poke-ur-mon is already perverted anyway, so not much is expected of the fan
Assault is a crime of violence towards another person. Were they violent towards her? According to this, not really. So why the assault charges? They cut off part of her shirt. That’s not assault.
You should probably think before typing out a stupid question.
1) I’m pretty sure the little girl didn’t say, “Ok, cut off my shirt, I won’t resist.”
2) She more than likely resisted, thus a struggle ensues between the man and little girl over the shirt with the man attempting to cut it off while it is still on her (obviously cutting requires a sharp object pointing at the girl).
3) He more than likely restrained her in order to obtain a piece of the shirt.
As clearly shown, yes, this is assault + sexual harassment, but assault nonetheless since his motive and action was quite violent and aggressive.
You sir, have a fucked up interpretation of what is not violent.
The fiends, the poor girl will be scarred for life having her pokeimen taken away in such a horrible fashion as being cut from her chest. May pokemen rain down uppon the poor girl in an amount that she forgets and of course, that those fiends don’t see those too.
