A 45-year-old man, who was arrested on Wednesday for taking indecent videos of two shop assistants in Matsuyama, Ehime Prefecture, last November, had images of more than 1,000 women at his home, police said.
The suspect, identified as Yuji Maekawa, 45, was arrested for taking up-skirt videos of two store employees with a tiny camera shaped like a remote infra-red car key fob in Matsuyama on Nov 3. Upon searching his home police found another seven cameras disguised as various innocuous objects such as a ball-point pen, a wristwatch and a lighter. They also found secretly-filmed videos of over 1,000 women on hard disk drives in Maekawa's apartment.
During police questioning, Maekawa was quoted as saying that filming the women satisfied his sexual desire.

Peeping progresses to groping and that can eventually progress to assault/murder. Of course, not every guy trying to grab an upskirt snap is going to assault someone, but these kinds of crimes can progress to much more severe stuff if the perps aren't caught. Usually when the more minor crime becomes less satisfying.
Where is the evidence for this assertion?

Just Google spy camera or hidden camera and you'll see 100's of examples. Very easy to obtain these days and cheap. I think they evolved from the 'nanny cam'.

All that time and money to get photos of less than you can see with your own eyes on a public beach in summer. And a whole lot less that you can see on a European beach. Seems a waste of time, but I guess he liked the thrill of the hunt.

What is wrong with this guy? What a collection! 1000 photos is a good material to start your own porn movies. He must be sick and his marbles are mixed with sex imaginations.

Ebonyninja--Sometimes that happens. Peeping progresses to groping and that can eventually progress to assault/murder. Of course, not every guy trying to grab an upskirt snap is going to assault someone, but these kinds of crimes can progress to much more severe stuff if the perps aren't caught. Usually when the more minor crime becomes less satisfying.

What amazes me is that these pervs work so hard and spend so much just to satisfy their sexual desires. They probably know by now that people are aware of these men with cameras, cell phones, etc. and yet they still drive on with their perverted actions. Why not go to a red light district or get friendly in the bars instead?

A tiny camera shaped like a remote infra-red car key a ball-point pen, a wristwatch, a lighter and so on. You can get all in Akihabara at very low prices.

Was he dragging the key along the ground, or keep dropping it and picking it up?

I was thinking the same thing about the police!

He needs to start a legit FBI type business and get off this perverted stuff. What a waste of 'talent'?
MrDog
He's the pervert Q.
paulinusa
Are those cameras stock items in stores or is this guy a really clever pervert?

Busy guy! If only he could direct his talents to something useful. This whole society needs more motivation.
