Laundry now is not enough for those weirdos? They really want something "fresh"?

Also that victim, while doing reporting, really did reporting to officer without underwear? Beside that officer in charge at that time, really want to see that proof?

Porn socializes young boys to develop into perverted creeps like this.

There was his freak in my home city who had a fetish for boy's socks. When the cops finally busted into his home, he had several such pairs of boy's socks hanging on a Christmas tree,

Once usually isn't enough so they keep on doing it until they get caught.

His mate was probably recording it from the bushes for his Insta.

What another stupid comment from TokyoLiving. His opinion is of no comfort to the young lady who was probably terrified, traumatized or even possibly injured in this obscene crime.

He/she was simply stating a fact. This sort of thing would never make it into the headlines in your country.

His opinion is of no comfort to the young lady who was probably terrified, traumatized or even possibly injured in this obscene crime.

The young lady does not read the readers section of this site, nor does she need it for comfort.

We really do not need virtue signaling here.

That is exactly what they do, except they don't upload to Insta, they upload to porn sites, which inspires the next rash of attacks.

Yeah, you would think that. It's pretty clear that you have a very low bar for what you would consider sexual assault.

Imagine if this woman came home from work and told her husband about being groped on the way home, and he says, "Only groped? WOW - See how safe Japan is!"

This is so weird & strange yet you know afterwards he was going to Sniff / Smell those panties and probably rub them all over his face, then sell them to some other weirdo....
