Police in Sapporo, Hokkaido, have arrested an 83-year-old man on suspicion of sexually molesting a teenage girl and public indecency after he exposed his genitals and allegedly pressed them against her on a bus
Police said the incident occurred at around 6:25 p.m. Saturday while the bus was traveling in Chuo Ward, NTV reported.
According to police, the man was seated beside the girl who is in her late teens. He undid his pants, exposed his genitals and pressed them against the girl who cried out.
Another passenger on the bus heard the girl and saw the man with his pants undone and called 110, reporting that there was a man molesting a girl on the bus.
Police said the man has partially denied the allegation. He was quoted as saying, "I exposed my lower body, but I didn't press my body against her.”

Police officer: “Well, in that case, sorry to have bothered you. Have a nice day and keep the YKK fastened!
No matter his age, he needs a little time in a cell to rethink his priorities.

What was the old goat thinking?

Inquiring minds want to know did he take blue pill? He proved even at 83 still has sexual desire, something to remind us all that age ain't that boring, no?

Gotta Love Sapporo.

He has probably done it in the past , the problem is some seniors think they can do what ever they want and NO ONE bothers, seen several times in hospitals, care centers, trains, supermarkets, and more.
They are pampered and spoiled which leads to weird behavior.

I will never understand these monsters

She should have punched the geezer right in the nuts. 正当防衛

Let's take into consideration that this old man might be suffering from dementia! People with dementia sometimes do sexually inappropriate acts that they might not have done in the past!!

Hokkaido is 29th in crimes per 1000 inhabitants, Sapporo is a small population city by Japanese standards and is a very far cry from being any crime hub. Just that for some reason JT likes to consitently post stories from Hokkaido giving it this erroneous image.

I agree his mental state needs to be checked first, he is of very advanced years and unless he has done something like this before it could be because he has lost his cognitive abilities.

At his age he should know better.
Fighto!
Perverted and despicable old creep. Needs to be locked up for a lengthy time, and named and shamed in his community. In future, female care workers that (sadly) have to care for him should be expressly informed that he is a sex offender.
The poor girl will likely never get that disgusting image out of her head.

You’re right, Mountainpear — I should have thought of that first. I don’t have any firsthand experience with dementia patients (fortunately, it doesn’t run in my family), so I don’t know how it rewires the brain.
I hope the old guy gets the help he needs, and that the girls will get some good counseling.

Kick him in the nuts and shout and run.
That is what I taught my girls.

He's 83 years old. Even if you might kick a young man that way, the tide might just turn against the girl had she successfully defended against an 83-year old geezer.
Fighto!
83 year olds are not all innocent. They can be predators. They can be rapists, and paedophiles.
The advice to knee/kick him in the nuts is correct.

Without a medical assessment it is hard to judge this individual with this advanced age. Second, yes, I agree, it would be great for the girl to physically defend herself, however, if she did and the man had dementia, he could be physically dangerous. What I mean is, people with dementia are physically strong and lash out many times and not even realize their own strength.

Pathetic loser, go to jail..

Bet he's a rantallion.
Poor bugger, probably undiagnosed dementia or desperate for attention.
Also feel sorry for that young girl.
If only there were proper social services that actually addressed any of these problems.

I'm not saying he is. I don't even think he is necessarily suffering from a mental deficit. I just point out the cold reality in Japan, the old are deemed to deserve respect and a bit of deference even when they are wrong. Plus at 83 he might look kind of frail. It won't be hard to slide into "excess self-defence" in this situation.

The poor girl probably crapped her self, she should have punched him where it hurts,

83 years old, acting less than 8.
He wasn't. He's nuts.
