52-year-old man arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting teenage girl he met on social media

14 Comments

Police in Miyoshi Town, Saitama Prefecture, have arrested a 52-year-old man on suspicion of sexually assaulting a teenage girl at a hotel in May.

According to police, Naoya Kato, a company employee from Namegata City, Ibaraki Prefecture, is accused of threatening and confining a teenage girl who attends a vocational school in a room at a hotel in Miyoshi in May, TV Asahi reported. Police said he allegedly sexually assaulted her while filming the act with his smartphone.

The two met on social media. Police said Kato has partially denied the charges, and quoted him as saying “I did not threaten or confine the girl."

Kato was arrested last month over a separate indecent assault, and police are questioning him about other similar incidents, as well as examining the contents of his smartphone.

Oh no not again! This vile monster needs locking up for a ruddy long time. Where I come from people like him are called a beast in prison and live in fear of attacks by other inmates who consider them the lowest of the low.

I'm not victim blaming but why do so many young girls go to love hotels with older men? What do they think they are going to do there? Make green tea or flash for cash? Stop going to love hotels with older men and this problem will go away.

Almost 2025 and a teenage girl is sexually assaulted and filmed by a sexual deviant and the only responses thus far apart from mine are laying the blame on the victim who may well be traumatised for life.

Lots of victim blaming here.

Teenagers make teenage mistakes, it's a know fact. You blamers probably all did many kind of stupid mistakes in your teenage years.

52 y.o. ojisan luring young girls through app in a hotel room don't make mistakes. They perfectly know what they're doing.

”deviant”?

Using that word to describe gays, for example, is looked down upon yet okay here? Deviating from what, exactly?

Sickening innit mate. People like them about on the streets and we have to think about our female family members and friends.

We don't know how old the "Teenager" is so that could be a 7 year variation. A 13 yr old would be possibly not aware of the dangers and easily fooled but a 19 yr old should have more street smarts and realize the dangers.

So whether there is any fault on the girls part can't be determined or commented on until we have more facts.

I doubt there was much "luring" involved. Looks more like enjo kosai gone wrong.

She is a vocational school student, so she is 18 or 19. No 13 year old is a vocational school student.
