The Tokyo District Court has sentenced a 27-year-old former nursery school teacher to 14 years in prison for sexually assaulting girls at a nursery school in Tokyo and filming the assaults with this smartphone.
According to the ruling, Nagumo Osada sexually assaulted seven girls aged between three and six years old in classrooms and closets between September 2021 and December 2023 at the nursery school, NHK reported.
Presiding judge Hideki Murohashi noted that "this was an extremely despicable crime that took advantage of the victims' age, when they were unable to resist," and that "it is only too easy to imagine the grief of the parents whose precious children were assaulted at a nursery school where they should have been able to leave their children safely."
During the trial, Osada apologized, saying, "I made innocent children victims in order to satisfy my own selfish desires.”

well he should've got life in prison without the possibility of parole

Call me old fashioned but a 27 year old man working in a nursery school rings my alarm bells. I know it shouldn't but it just does.
Fighto!
Kudos to the judge for handing down a half decent length sentence. Yes - I do wish it was life. I dearly hope this evil paedophile expires in prison.

14 years, thats it!?! Wake up, Japan! This guy will be released in his 40’s and WILL reoffend. He has a disease and he will not be rehabilitated.

How about a bit of sympathy for the children who will have deal with this for the rest of their lives?
The guy only got 2 years per child. Considering how he seems to have a serial habit, I feel it's a bit light

He filmed his acts and we know why

"Selfish?" That's not selfish, it's bent!

You're quite right. It shouldn't.

Well done, then get him registered as a sex offender and put a collar on his neck when he gets out .
