A young woman’s scream echoed in a residential area late at night. Startled, the man fled the scene. The woman immediately reported the incident to a nearby police box.
On April 7, the Setagaya Police Station of the Metropolitan Police Department announced the arrest of Atomu Kitabatake, 27, a model living in Shimoma, Tokyo, on suspicion of indecent assault. The suspect followed a woman in her 20s on her way home from a train station in Setagaya Ward shortly after midnight on March 13. When the woman entered a deserted alley, Kitabatake suddenly hugged her from behind on the street and touched her.
The woman was breathing heavily and silently as he committed the crime. When the woman resisted and squatted down, she injured her right knee, which will require approximately seven days to heal. Startled by the volume of the woman’s screams, Kitabatake ran away. However, the security camera footage led to his arrest. He is said to have told the police, ‘I will keep silent.
Playing in Australia
Kitabatake is a well-known model who has appeared on television.
The suspect, who is from Osaka Prefecture, has a wealthy family and has enjoyed horseback riding and surfing since he was a child. Since his school days, he was known as a strong soccer player. In his senior year at university, he was named the “Assist King” of the school.
On YouTube, he introduced himself as follows. I am confident in sports. I am confident in sports. I played soccer in high school and college as a “special sports student. I also played soccer in Australia. According to him, he played professionally in Australia.
This is not the first time Kitabatake has been arrested on suspicion of indecency with women.
In February of this year, he hugged another woman in her 20s on a street in Setagaya Ward, and was arrested in March. At the time, he confessed to the charge, but the disposition of the case was suspended. This is the second time Kitabatake has been arrested.
Several similar incidents were reported in the area. The common denominator among all the women was that they were wearing skirts when they were attacked. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the possibility that Kitabatake may have committed additional crimes.
Kitabatake had a glamorous career as a model and athlete. However, he seems to have tarnished his impressive profile by indulging his own desires.
