Police in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, have arrested a 38-year-old man on suspicion of public indecency for exposing his lower body on the street after he ran after women returning home from train stations late at night.
Police said Takaya Taniguchi was known to them as the "running man waiting for the last train" for his habit of chasing women who were returning home late at night, Sankei Shimbun reported. He pretended to be running, and when he passed a woman on a deserted street, he exposed his lower body.
Police said he started running and exposing himself last July and continued until late March when he was arrested after being identified from street security camera footage.
Police quoted Taniguchi as saying, “I exposed myself to women about 10 times. It gradually escalated as a way to relieve stress."

He has a weird way of releasing stress.

My daughter lives near here.
How long did the police want to ignore this before it escalated?
Reprehensible.

I used to compete, and we used the term "balls out" - though not literally.

I would suggest to Mr. Taniguchi that this method of relieving stress might not be the best idea in prison.

It's like the concept of the internet doesn't even exist to him. There are better, private, and legal ways of relieving stress. What a plonker.

people suggest that the internet and the vast selection of pornography to be found on it would be a "better way to relieve stress" for these kinds of hentai ......and , in theory , that may be so
........ but in practice , it lacks the element of shock and dread and all the other emotions that these victims provide.... live and immediate, on the spot ....... and that is what these pervs are after, that´s what "does it" for them ........ the internet doesn´t allow for that kind of live "interaction" with the desired results.
