Teacher, wife busted for filming women in toilet 'just for fun'

38 Comments

Police on Sunday arrested a teacher from a Tama Ward elementary school and his wife for violation of the prefectural public nuisance prevention ordinance after the pair were caught filming videos in a women's toilet.

According to police, Noriyoshi Sano, 44, and his wife Naoko, 42, admit to the charges, and were quoted as saying that they "filmed the videos to have fun as a couple. We've been doing it for the past five years."

The couple was arrested on Sunday night after they were caught with a video camera, filming a Yamato City woman, 43, in the gymnasium toilet in Yokohama's Hodogaya Ward.

The couple had hidden a tiny camera in the toilet paper roll, and the wife remotely controlled it from the next stall. The woman spotted the camera and caught Mrs Sano, before calling police.

That guy is pretty lucky he found a woman who shares and participates in his hobbies...

You'd surely get dizzy watching that when someone pulls the paper roll.

One way to spend a weekend. Sex perversion for the whole family? And what were the couple's kids doing while mom and dad were hard at it? Mugging grannies in the carpark? What a wonderfully functional relationship.

Although reading such stories makes me angry, at the same time the lunacy of the whole situation borders on tragic. How did the victim know to look in the stall next door? Was the remote control a hard wired? Wouldn't put it past these clowns.

And don't get me started about the husband being an elementary school teacher. I just hope he was not in charge of teaching civics.

i'm wondering if the intent was sexual. sounds more like childish voyeurism. i might be wrong, though, but i have a little trouble understanding how people can get off on watching common ablutions

Bizarre. But, as others have pointed out, at least this couple shared an interest together. Better than him playing golf with the boys and her having lunch with the ladies. Wonder which one of them suggested it first?

I can't decide whether I am shocked, disgusted, outraged, surprised, not surprised or impressed! Whatever, I agree with many people on here - what is the attraction of filming women having a pee???!

Nice jojo! Although, it never ceases to amaze me the lengths these perverted Japanese will go to for their sick fetishes. You can just imagine the 'fun' conversation they have while reviewing their footage of a woman taking a dump. "Eh! Sogoi ne! Okii!" Sickos!

Well done Sensei! It seems that toilets are seen as something funny in the modern Japanese mass culture:

Ahem. I think I'll have to ask my wife to tell the Sanos that we won't be joining them for their 'beef and burgundy' dinner party this coming Saturday.

damn thats just weird.

Maybe it was the sound effects that thrilled them? As a noted psychologist said once, "if you can think of it someone in the world will be doing it" Amen to him.

So good to see that you can look on the bright side of this kind of sexual assault.

soothsayer -- I would have thought you sensed the heavy measure of sarcasm that was intended. I was trying to point out that many customers here are dysfunctional since they spend so little time together sharing common interests. This one is dysfunctional because they do. Isn't there a happy medium here in Japan?

herefornow - the man is a TEACHER for crying out loud. sick sick sick. there is no happy medium when i comes to this kind of stuff.

Ahh, got our daily dose of titillation. Nicely done.

Hey Honey, let's pop over to the park biffy and score some peepee footage for later...

Don't jump to conclusions, he might be a science or biology teacher, and just doing research.

A perverted couple!!!

THEIR EXCUSES ARE BOLLOCKS. No doubt they sold the material. 100% no doubt. Its the same as a dope grower getting caught and saying its for personal use. BOLLOCKS!

Hentai takes over Japan.

I was once told of a college student in Louisiana who whole-heartedly believed that she would become pregnant by kissing. (A lot of people would love that, but it just doesn't seem to work.)

It occurs to me that perhaps many Japanese haven't yet experienced or figured out how the birds and the bees thing works. Is it possible that they mistake peeing for sex? I mean, even the most woefully inadequate can still manage a toilet.

Se te cayó el tobaco, hermano.

i'd like to hear how you conclude that this is true in 100% of cases

Another bizarre incident in a deeply bizarre country. Japan seems to get more wierd with each passing day. Public morals and manners have all but disappeared now. What a pair of depraved sickos this couple are, and to think they had connections with education, too. This is the sickest thing I have read this week. I hope they are given psychiatric assessment and also locked away for many years until they come to their senses.

Well that is nothing new, it has been going on since I first came to Japan in 1996. I remeber in Perth Australia a guy got arrested for doing the same thing. Face it people get off on watching girls pee there are HUNDREDS of PORN VIDEOS on the net in regards to the act. Europe and the US call it GOLDEN SHOWERS I think, so you can not say Japan or Japanese are BIZARRE when it also goes on in the west!

0 ( +0 / -0 )

I agree that it also goes on in the west, but I think you will probably find that the majority of those cases are where the pee-er is voluntarily "performing", and they are GENERALLY not filmed in secret in a public toilet by a bloody elementary school teacher (and probably parent) and his WIFE!!!

The fetish begins as nothing more than an opportunity I think. Everybody drops their pants when they pee, so that is a chance to get a peek. I think it usually goes from there, with associations made with sex and toilet issues. Yet another fetish sprung directly out of sexual repression for the most part if you ask me.

I agree with others that this was probably more a business venture than self-gratification.

I looked at the headline and began to laugh. To think a couple would do something like this, a teacher at that! It's absolutely stupid to think someone of honorable standing would stoop to this kind of crap.

I think they said he is a teacher. I wonder if he actually thought that "peepee" comes out of the uterus? That could be a cause of confusion.

Of course, we all know that BeaverCleaver is right and that everything here is about money.

I noticed that most Japanese fellons admit to thier crime once caught and tell how long they've been at, how they did it and so forth. I wish American criminals were that coroperative.

"Just for fun"?? And these 2 idiots are teachers? How about "just for fun" filming this couple when they take a crap or piss and putting it up on Youtube etc..you know, "just for fun" and see how much they would like that. Sick, perverted idiots!

Cynthia, the interrogation techniques used here often consist of days of questioning and basically what amounts to psychological torture, with many forced "confessions" by innocent people later coming to light. While I have no doubt that this particular couple is guilty, I don't think you want America to follow the Japanese system.
