Some homeless looking guy one night in Shibuya assaulted my daughter like this. He began shouting at her incomprehensibly for no reason and then chased her threw something on her. Needless to say, it was both shocking and disgusting.

What bodily fluid? Poo? Pee? Semen? Saliva? Blood? There is more than one type of body fluid.

Does that matter. Things like this you don't do especially a grow up guy.

Gross. But I do wonder why stories like this makes the national news.

Poor girl. But kudos to her for going straight to the cops. Now what are the chances of this guy getting a harsh sentence, I wonder.

wtf?! and by bodily fluid....we aren't talking spit, boogers or blood...are we?! What a sick b###ard!

I happen to think so.
I agree.

What do they call it? The "chikan" smearing man. I can remember so many cases about these "chikan smearing men" in the public; since I've been reading JT since its inception.

Another sicko out there. I'm glad that the girl went to the police right away. Anything to get this loser off the streets. I hope the girl recovers from this.

This filth is utterly disgusting!

Filthy animal has admitted to multiple crimes. - ‘Miggs’ here needs to be evaluated by a forensic psychiatrist before he’s released.

because it is a great break from 24/7 news of Ukraine-Russia

As a foreigner I don’t understand all those strange attacks like this one or sometimes cutting hair or school uniforms, clothes or hurting them and making small wounds and such similar. Can’t they just offer a rose, expensive chocolates or an invitation to a cafeteria or ice cream shop instead? I know , that is also considered very bad nowadays in our new world, but at least it’s still less dangerous or shocking and a much more polite attempt. And who knows, one in a few hundreds might be even working. Don’t be too harsh, just consider if our grandparents or parents wouldn’t have done such attempts, that are now all considered inappropriate or a crime, we all or most of us wouldn’t be existing.

What country are you bringing them up in? And why are you here if you don't live in Japan.

What is wrong with these weirdos and their need to do this? Nutjobs!

What’s with Japanese men lashing out at women? Especially vile are these perverts with predilections for throwing fluids in public places. Worse are those seeking to harm others in general.

The guy was back on the streets the next day! Totally ridiculous. Let's hope the creep in this story doesn't get let back on the streets for a few years minimum.

Oh well this will not be the last reporting of something like this happening, We will read about something like this again. Japan has a culture of seeing things but not reporting things because they don't want to get involved or cause trouble. Its a cold way to look at things and a cold way of not saying anything.

@Thunderbird2, Nutjobs? A double entendre if I ever heard one.

I don’t know what country you are in, but I guess it depends on your definition of sexual crime. Generally speaking, I don’t think Japan is any worse or better than other developed countries. It might depend on what kind of sexual crime and what kind of sexual crimes get put into the news. In Canada, I doubt something like this would even make the local news. Does that mean Canada has less sexual crimes than Japan? Surely not.

All people should be respected. Sad event.

I knew fellow schoolmates even thru HS who'd flick or smear snot boogers on others. Churlish and disgusting to say the least.
And this creepola sez he's done it many times. He needs to be doing time! he's a menace. What does he get out of these repulsive acts? He's a sick boy, maybe doesn't have a GF. Doesn't deserve one either.
