Police in Moriyama, Shiga Prefecture, have arrested a 41-year-old high school teacher on suspicion of violating the Child Pornography Prohibition Act, after he took secret photos of teenage girls' naked bodies with his smartphone.
Police said the suspect, Masayuki Ishida, has remained silent, except to say,"I don't feel like talking about anything,” Sankei Shimbun reported.
According to police, Ishida is suspected of secretly taking nude photos of the girls with his smartphone in a hotel room in Kyoto City on January 4 this year; and possessing a smartphone containing 12 videos of child pornography showing girls under the age of 18, when he was detained for suspicious behavior on a street in Moriyama City in May.
The Shiga Prefectural Board of Education commented, "We deeply regret that this has damaged the trust of the people of the prefecture. We will confirm the facts and take strict action.”

Mr Kipling
Was he a "guardian teacher" on a school trip at this time?

How he managed to get those girl into hotel?
What's the actual suspicious behavior?
tora
As per usual, no elaboration. Why? This is a key reason as to why they caught him. One doesn't just get detained for "suspicious" behaviour here unless you're a foreigner.

How many naked bodies does this girl have?
Moderator: Thanks for pointing that out. It has been corrected.
Michael Corleone
probably trying to take upskirt photos with the same phone that had the child porn on it...

The way this story reads there was multiple teenage girls naked in his hotel room and he secretly took pictures. So if the story is correct what were multiple teenage girls doing naked in his hotel room in the first place?
I think JT needs to clear all this up and get the story correct
Yohan
To remain silent will not help him. Idiot ruining his future.
Zaphod
The article does not explain much. What were the girls doing in that hotel room, and how did he happen to be there?

Throw the key away may he never be allowed near a school again.

I am not happy if I don't read my under 18 voyeuritisc crime of the day.
Thanks JT !
Take the same and repeat (teacher/police + arrested for a minor reason initially + I don't remember or pretty close).

This moment of misjudgment and stupidity has cost him his job, if he's married, he won't be ! I don't know if it will affect his pension, some or all of his friends will not want to be associated with him, will other schools employ him? Probably not, but he might have to change names or something, did he pay the girl for her time? Was she complicit? What action will be taken towards the girl? Will some take time to explain to her what a serious matter this is.

What reason would you think would be necessary to make the story "correct"? For the crime (what is being reported) this is completely irrelevant. Or Is it that you have curiosity about naked teenage girls and want to know about the subject?

No, thats just your mind thinking that way. If I am wrong how come 10 people have liked my comment showing they agree?
virusrex
It was a question, for the crime this detail that apparently you consider central is actually completely irrelevant, it is instead just what interests you personally, the fallacy of appeal to popularity is also irrelevant as well, many people being mistaken do not make that correct in any way especially when almost as many downvotes are supposedly saying you are wrong.

why do you all need to know the sordid details? Titillation?
Just read the headline and move on, that’s all you need to know about these kind of things.
Sheesh, unless you are critics of journalism, you don’t need to know all the grubby minutiae.

If you were as good at reading how the story is worded as you with your literacy in responses you would see there are a whole lot of things that do not make sense in the story, one minute he is in a hotel room, next minute he is on the street. If any media is going to report such a story they could at least get the facts right. Perhaps you should work for them.
