Police in Tokyo said Thursday they have arrested a 40-year-old man on suspicion of throwing bodily fluid on a girl's skirt on a crowded train last December.
According to police, the suspect, identified as Tetsuya Fukuda, a contract worker, threw the liquid on the skirt of an 18-year-old girl on a train between Kinshicho and Akihabara stations on the JR Sobu line at around 9 a.m. last Dec 11, Fuji TV reported.
Police said they identified Fukuda through DNA left on the girl's skirt.
Fukuda was quoted by police as saying he carried out similar acts on at least 100 occasions before, usually two or three times a month. He said it aroused him to be in close contact with women on a crowded train.

No clue.

Ahh you're one of those people that judges the frequency of a crime based on the number of news stories you read rather than actual numbers. Got it.
nath
Yeah, I hear that claim regularly. Doesn't jive with the discussions I've had with women, but that's anecdotal.
Anyways, I reiterate what I said - millions of man-hours of train riding, very few instances.
nath
You're so wrong. Considering the millions of man-hours on the train every day in Japan, there are extremely few incidents. The trains are extremely safe here.

He might be interrogated by policemen how he could release his bodily fluid to a skirt instead of his clothes. Police do not release details but maybe sec cam caught his releasing act or some riders noticed his releasing act?

One sick puppy! Probably thinks he's marking his territory. Should take him to the pound with the other animals, though they would most likely reject him.

Right. Basically it was "sperm" (eww, gross!)
The police are trying to save face by saying they have dna proof, from bodily fluid. The suspect admits he gets aroused in a crowded train near women. So it was sperm. No doubt.

Police said they identified Fukuda through DNA left on the girl’s skirt.
@vctokyoAPR. 11, 2015 - 07:37PM JST Can't get DNA from urine. Must be something more sinister.'

Can't get DNA from urine. Must be something more sinister.
Wc626
. . . I highly Doubt it was urine tho.
toshiko
Bodily Fluid --- either result of his urine or masterbation.
DNA --- comparison of his current bodily Fluid and liquid on skirt --- forsnic officers will can compare easily
Confession -- easy in Japan, There is no provision of copy of USA 5th amendment.in JAPAN

A total jerk!

What a disgusting piece of scum. Sex offenders list for people like that should be automatic.
spahnmatthew
"Throwing"? Not bloody likely...more like "spewing" his man-clam-chowder on his victims.
Is there a sex-offender designation for these sick perverts in Japan, like that in the USA?
arcadius
This is most unsavoury, from a most unsavoury person. Other people should not have to contend with one's bodily fluids (or solids).
ebisen
I'll get a lot of -1's but hey, castration sounds like a very good solution for such jerk-offs...

Junk man ...

I would think the opposite is a better tactic in Japan. Remember the way to a shorter sentence is to throw yourself on the mercy of the court and demonstrate total remorse. What better way to show remorse than to confess to more than what you've been accused of?
Amidalism
I can understand their interrogation scare tactics, but saying that he has done it 100 times is pretty amazing. You'd figure he would try and play it down like saying he has only done it a couple of times.

Reminds me of the scene from "Silence of the Lambs" -when Migs threw his bodily fluids @ Jodi Foster. Lol-
Gobshite
Don't confess, don't get out of the cell, simples....

***said it aroused him to be in close contact with women on a crowded train.
I can understand that. What I dont undertand is what that has to do with throwing bodily fluids, or whyanyone would get aroused by doing that.

Another misogynist this week.

WANKERS !

This freak is nuts! Toss him a padded cell!!

I hope the world is running out of these sickos soon. It makes normal flirting extremely difficult as every women will think you're a sicko as soon as you look at her.
Mirai Hayashi
Wait...I thought the acid guy and the bodily fluids guy were the same person. You mean to say that there are two of them???
Mocheake
There are some seriously ill people walking around out there. I say his punishment should be to receive what he dished out.
nath
Body fluids could be tears, but I doubt that it was.
Pandabelle
No, they caught him, then positively identified him as the perp by matching with his DNA. It's worded weirdly.
noirgaijin
2.5 million years of human evolution, and cavemen still live among us.

Hidden cameras, gropers, acid , bodily fluids and who knows what else. Sad to say the bigger picture here is the place many Japanese men hold of women (especially young women) in society.
DaDude
Exactly. So that particular woman took her skirt to the police and the cop at the counter grabbed a coffee spoon for a sample. He says fill out these papers and we will take this spoon to the lab and contact you in a few days? Seems like cameras on the train would have been easier but glad they got him somehow.
Howie Jones
Warped on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin.
Alistair Carnell
Can't take citicism JT, especially now you've sold out to fuji TV
Tessa
I wouldn't know where to begin. Let's just say that I've had worse stuff done to me on public transport.
Yep.
Alistair Carnell
I wish they wouldn't be so ambiguous, there's a clinical way of describing it, without descending to corse language. "The suspect stimulated himself and ejaculated semen on the girl's skirt". Assuming he didn't sneeze, vomit or urinate on her, and did something Akin to 'multiple Miggs' in silence of the lambs.
CrazyJoe
The world is gong to hell in a hand basket.
nath
I wonder what they can end up charging him with. Vomiting on someone isn't illegal, or does intent matter with this crime?
Gengar
How does JP get them to confess every little detail? Can someone tell me?
Peacetrain
100 times and he's only been caught now?
Wonder how many other guys have done that and other things and women have just not reported it.
There are some sick puppies in this country.
commanteer
I'm curious how they identified him with only DNA. Do they have DNA records of all people now?
Okisurfer
This "bodily fluid" squirting, (because that's what it really is, squirting "mayonnaise" looking liquids with a bottle) has been going on in Japan for decades. Just do a quick search engine look up for "skarting", or the similar, to see all the hidden camera videos out there. It is sold as pornography. So. There.

What a Jerk!

Last week "acid," this week "body fluid"...
