A top executive with Japan Rail has killed himself after being arrested for groping a schoolgirl, which he denied even in his suicide note.
The 56-year-old branch manager of JR’s Hanwa Line was accused of touching the nether regions of a 17-year-old schoolgirl through her clothes whilst on a train, and was arrested and charged under Osaka prefectural anti-groping laws.
He protested his innocence despite the girl’s accusation, saying “I may have brushed her arm but I have no recollection of groping her.”
Police attempted to prolong his detention whilst they “investigated” further, but courts decided it was safe to release him despite his insolent protestations of innocence, and also denied a police appeal against this reckless decision.
Shortly after his release he went missing, only to be discovered dead in an Osaka public toilet, having apparently hanged himself. He left a note proclaiming “I am not a chikan.”
Online there are some doubts about the case:
“You can’t help but think that a world where the mere suspicion you are a dirty chikan is enough to force you to suicide is insane.”
“Don’t kill yourself if the accusation is false!”
“If it was just a false accusation, you wouldn’t normally kill yourself over it. He was probably guilty.”
“No, it was a false accusation so he killed himself as there was no way to clear his name?”
“He wouldn’t have killed himself if he were actually doing it and got caught.”
“”Even if you are a chikan, it is not worth killing yourself over.”
“Haven’t you people been falsely accused of something? If nobody will believe you are innocent you might well decide to kill yourself.”
“Why don’t the mass media go an quiz chikan victims on how they feel about this for once?”
“He could have recovered from the charges.”
“It was over for him, I doubt he would have been able to recover from this. He could have lived on peacefully in seclusion I suppose.”
“There is no way he could have recovered and started over – he was a career executive in a huge company, come on.”
“Why do you guys only ever assume chikan are innocent and condemn everyone else?”
“Why does this country assume all those accused of this are guilty and that they deserve to die? It’s madness.”
“JR will soon need to consider men-only carriages!”
“Cameras and separate carriages are needed.”
“What were the courts thinking to allow them to release this man!”
“What was this girl doing out of the women only carriage.”
“If it was a false charge he should have worked to fix the rail system so it stops producing all these cases.”
“Right. The real problem here is the rail system which keeps cramming together passengers and so producing both these chikan and all the false accusations. If you can arrest chikan, JR should also be held accountable for creating this environment.”

Dat ass grab.
*Rawr*
Dat ass pinch.
What are you doing to Kuroko?
"I have no recollection" is not much of a denial.
I bet it suffers in the translation. Many japanese statements are vague like that. It's a cultural thing.
It's not a denial, it's a refusal to admit guilt. These things matter in law.
By the artists description of the said events in the pictures at the top, he did and it must have been so good a feeling for the old man he went to heaven.... *_____*
This sexism needs to stop.
Men-only carriages are the only way to go, so guys can at least relax and not fear to have a career ending accusation pop out of nowhere and destroy their lives.
And make no mistake, an accusation like that in Japan can pretty much destroy a japanese guy.
Btw, I was using for over 2 years a very crowded JR Line that brought me to the Shinjuku hub and it was so crowded that I accidentally came in contact with many people and I am quite sure the only thing that saved me from being accused of being a chikan was that I am not japanese.
What are you? American, Brazilian?
Isn't being filthy foreigner making you more of a target? Especially if you got a backpack or/and are fat/ugly.
Think before you post.
Lol! *facepalm*
Well, there's always things like girl brushes against you then accuses you of groping her and have her pimp back her up. Pay up or get accused and deported.
Better fix do away with this guilty until innocent shit and holding people without trial.
Do away with the intense interrogations for what are minor crimes.
Next much tougher standard for joining the police force so you have police who know the difference between a serious claim and someone crying wolf.
The Japanese national police might need to fire half of their detectives as they won't make the new requirements.
Better still, don't treat a grope like a serious case of murder or a gangbang rape. It may be wrong, but you don't go around hanging people for being crass jerks, so why ruin a man's life over it? It's not like woman don't play a little anonymous grabass from time to time.
Yeah why do only females get their own carriages? Guys need one too.
I believe some railways do offer male only cars too. Just not many.
If all the females are in their own carriages, then all the men will also be in their own carriages, won't they?
It's voluntary and not 50/50, so no, not at all.
A while back a woman sitting next to me on the train quickly got up and stepped on my foot as she left. It took me a few stunned seconds to realize that I might've touched her arm with my fingers as I was reaching for the phone in my inner jacket pocket.
well, people suck, just forget about it : )
That's called "a bitch". You run into them from time to time, just like you run into "pricks" from time to time. Pay no mind, and just be thankful she didn't scream "rape!".
Gender segregation? Holy incestuous Batman, Japan is turning Islamist. lol
Or a mental ward.
"And make no mistake, an accusation like that in Japan can pretty much destroy a japanese guy."
You have no idea how Japanese society actually works, do you? Hint: it's not like what you see in anime and on SanCom.
Actually, Seems you don't know anything about Japanese society or in this matter, any society what so ever.. Something that damaging will have LARGE and wide ramifications on someone's personal life! Read the news, something like this has ALREADY happened, and a man's entire life was DESTROYED. Even though he was finally found innocent, it was too late because his life was DESTROYED!
@pirateking
not so sure about that, I'm asian and I just
came from tokyo and its overly-crowded 'yamanote loop lines', and there were three instances where the back of my hand came in contact with other women's rears (due to people rushing out, I was pushed against other people), but I was never accused of anything.. it wasn't a light 'brush' either, almost a 'full on' contact
Carriage for men, carriage for women… We are traps supposed to go in this system?
The Bus.
There shall be a Hideyoshi carriage!
In my van.
What is your ethnicity/nationality?
hmmm....so what i got was...
"You can't be arrested or accused of being a chikan..if you're not Japanese"
well then...japan, i shall go and groping school girls , shall be done.
-captain 'murika
If you need to go, use a soapland or redlight district. I am sure they will have what you want, whatever fetish that might be.
fap-alicious ass for sure
in view of the public officials being able to openly molest children it is ridiculous to see such charges being nearly imposable to defend your self from....and the police being such prominent
offenders in the molestation of kids ...how can they even face the public and say any thing about other people....
Being born a woman in Japan automatically makes you one of the highest members of society!
Not as high as a policeman. Hehehe.
Nope, all they do is make coffee and sandwiches.
I want to have one has a wife. Such class they have.

>sell body for money
>receive expensive 'gifts'
>receive public assistance
>'earn' more tips than male coworkers
>never go without a roof over your head
>have penis
>have to beg for money, just eat from the dollar menu
>have to fight for custody, even if the woman is declared 'unfit'
>get labeled a rapist, molester, deadbeat, pig, etc
>forced to sleep under a bridge, after everything goes south
yeah, women have it so hard...
Men whining about how women are privileged are just as annoying as women whining how men are privileged. Gender makes a lot of difference, fucking deal with it.
>Have a vagina
>Get lower wage than your male coworker for the same job
>Get harassed by your boss
>Get fired if you dare get pregnant
>Get harrassed on train
>Get raped
and so on ....
Yeah, woman sure have it so easy ...
>Have a vagina
>I fuck you
>I rape you
>I train you
>You love me
>You bear me kids
Having a penis is awesome.
>Have a vagina and a penis
>AWESOME!!
>:D
Yay Futanari!!~
>have a vagina
>get a degree in 'liberal arts'
>work as a 'secretary', for nearly nothing
>boss compliments your work performance

>fired for missing too many days
>strangers see your 'baby bump', give up their seat
Yeah, women sure have it so hard.

u mad bro?
Why does 'sell body for money' and 'recieve expensive gifts' rank high on on things that are meant to make life easy?
Men can whore too, and if they did, they'd know it wasn't all sunshine and free cars. That shit is horrible, you get paid less the more you do it and nothing ever feels right again.
Fuck you, you know nothing.
I agree..well and cakes...
-Captain 'murika
Japanese women are treated like shit, especially in the workforce. This guy probably had some other shit going on that forced him to commit suicide, since sexual harassment is a-ok in the Japanese corporate world.
Or he wasn't exactly young.
I'm curious how far up your ass you had to reach to pull that one out.
