Deputy police chief arrests man for filming up high school girl's skirt at Ofuna station

In the right place at the right time......

wow, a policeman who does his job! and in kanagawa to boot!

Is it the thrill of doing something wrong that makes these guyz do such silly things? Is it like stealing a 50 cent cigar and getting a way with it that drive them to do such a pointless acts? With all the prostitution and gambling here-HOW CAN THE JAPANESE MAN BE BORED OR NEED A THRILL????????????????????????????

What was he expecting to see up there?

arararara, another one. the police need to crack down on these pervs. oh , hang on.....

Do you think they erased the footage or do you think the police chief kept it for evidence?

It's a peculiar perversion. Why not go to the beach or the public baths, where you can see young women's panty-clad bottoms legally, without having to get a crick in the neck. More often than not, the bikini briefs are much scantier than normal knickers.

fatloser, good points all around!!!

Ok. So how about stopping the real criminals...

Which part of this story is the most surprising news? The pervert or the cop arresting him? Sadly, it is the latter!

coz its a real school girl, not a 24 year old in costume at a soapland or a 22 year old on a DVD enjoying being filmed upskirt before she takes the perv into the station toilets for some nooky. This perv had become immune to his fetish and needed to step it up a gear to feel gratified. Of course he should have sought help instead but where would he have gone??

Good for him, although doing your job isn't really something you would expect to be making the top story on news networks.

big deal. How about catching the knife wielding guy cutting up the 15 year old? Who cares if some 17 year old had her tightie wighties filmed by some dirty perv?

What I love about this news is that the perv gets all aroused by the girl in her uniform; his imagination running wild. While the girl is on another wavelength entirely; listening to some excremental J-pop or trying to decide which flavour of pockys she`ll buy at the conbini.

Could you please send him to 'Hollywood' or 'Bollywood,' there is shortage for such producers. At least now public is aware that new dirty 'STAR' is born.

Let's solve this problem. Let's change the uniform to jogging pants. NO MORE DRESSES. Problem solved. No more pervs !!!!! No more sailor moon type behavior.

Enforce long skirts and it'll be easier to see the pervs cause they gotta bend lower on the escalators. Even pretending to tie your shoe when you have slip ons is pretty hard on the back. It took me a week to recover.

soldave..this story did not make the headlines because of a job being done..it made the headlines, and attracted all the readers, because of the nature of the crime..tickling everyones salacious side.

this is one of the most degrading crime - watching a person without permission. For these criminals long stay in prison is good.

A Kodak moment if I've ever heard of one!

**** "What was he expecting to see up there?"

Kawaii pantei, hai hai.

Why are Japanese men so crazy about school uniforms?

What he's getting off on stinky underware. What a creep!

It really does not help when our youth fold up their skirt just below their ass cheek’s allowing some type of view up their skirts. I am sure I am not the only one to admit this, but during my travel I must witness seeing panties every single day on my commute. It is not that I am looking for these things to happen nor am I a pervert. Anyone is visible to this type of action that our women are doing sending the wrong message to these men who think it is appropriate to film or get aroused. Guys I will suggest that the girls are innocent and see nothing sexual in it. Girls be cautious cause if I can see you undeez anyone else can wont you feel at least a little embarrassed? Parents step it up a bit this might be your precious little daughter that you think is so innocent. Let me add that young boys are getting the wrong impression as well. I see it everyday young boys trying to get a peek whether a girl walking up the stairs, a girl sitting without crossing her legs, riding a bike, etc. Japan women is such an easy target that men pray on to get the blood flowing and that certain something throbbing. It’s time for a little moral issue with uniforms and how we were them in public.

It’s my duty as a police officer to take action if I witness a crime. I’ve never hesitated to do so

Gee, that's reassuring.
