Police in Tokyo have arrested a former male teacher for allegedly intimidating his ex-student with whom he had a relationship

According to police, Yuminori Fukawa, 31, a former teacher employed at a high school in Tokyo, threatened his now-18-year-old ex-girlfriend and student at the end of April, Fuji TV reported. Fukawa threatened the girl via email in which he wrote, “If you openly speak about our relationship, I won’t forgive you or your family. You better be prepared.”

Police said Tuesday that the two were dating for about a year in the past, and Fukawa attached a photo of the teenager in her underwear and sent it along with the intimidating email.

Police said Fukawa has admitted to the charge and quoted him as saying, “I threatened her because she was going to reveal our relationship.”

Gross abuse of his position as her teacher, having a relationship and sex with a minor for over a year, and blackmail with the threat of revenge porn. In most advanced countries this would result in a lifelong ban from further teaching and a jail term.

He intimidated her, threatened her with revenge porn - that's enough to put him away. In my country that would get his teaching licence revoked for the state he's certified in.

But he will bow and apologize and continue to teach.

Yeah well, she agreed to date him didn't she? If you both play with fire you'll both get burned

You need to clarify your question, as depending upon the situation "dating" is not a crime.

Here in the USA, there’s been a recent trend and an increasing number of cases in which the female teachers are having sex with their teenage boy(s) student.

When I was in Japan, that was never in the news. Always just the men.

Are you saying that the young woman deserved to be threatened and blackmailed? It sounds like it.

Another disgusting teacher/student relationship.

With an older guy and a very young girl.

'Lolita' by Vladimir Nabakov. Ever read it? Ever heard 'Don't Stand So Close to Me' by The Police?

The video for 'Total Eclipse of the Heart' features that. Awful.
