The Director, Who Was Arrested for the Fifth Time, Filmed the Indecent Act on His Smartphone and Showed a Horrifying Picture of Himself
He said, “It’s not a fever caused by corona. You need to see a gynecologist.”
With this explanation, the man apparently committed an indecent act on a female patient who visited an outpatient clinic for a fever.
A doctor who ran a clinic in Toshima Ward, Tokyo, was arrested for the fifth time on July 11 on suspicion of indecent assault by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department’s Investigation Division 1, who arrested Takashi Nishida, 55, director of the “Otsuka South Ekimae Neurology Clinic. On June 9, 2021, he allegedly forcibly touched a woman in her 30s whom he suspected of being infected with a new type of coronavirus.
Nishida diagnosed ‘no fever caused by corona’ without conducting a PCR test. He told her that she might have a gynecological disease and indecently touched her. When the woman’s fever did not go down the next day, she went to a different hospital and was found to be infected with a new type of corona. The police investigated the case, and Nishida stated, ‘I will keep quiet about everything.’
In an article distributed on March 14 of this year, “FRIDAY Digital” reported in detail on the incident allegedly committed by the clinic director. We would like to recount the modus operandi of the crime and the horrified face of the suspect, Nishida.
“Ask him to take off his underwear.”
As a neurology clinic with a specialist in dementia from the Japan Dementia Society, we hope to be of help in the fight against dementia in our community.
The clinic’s website states this as its philosophy. However, the doctor arrested at the clinic, while specializing in neurology, also provides gynecological care and has been indecently assaulting several female patients.
On March 8, the Metropolitan Police Department’s Investigation Division 1 arrested the doctor, Nishida, on suspicion of quasi-forcible indecency. The Otsuka Minamiguchi Ekimae Neurology Clinic, of which Nishida is the director, opened in July 2008 in a convenient location just a two-minute walk from JR Otsuka Station.
The incident occurred in October 2021. Ms. A, a woman in her 20s who visited the gynecology department, was the victim. Nishida instructed Ms. A to remove her underwear. After making her sit on the examination table, the suspect touched her lower body for about an hour.
“He also used a small camera built into her glasses to secretly film the “palpation.” There were no nurses or office staff in the hospital, and Ms. A and Nishida were the only two people in the hospital,” said a reporter from the society section of a national newspaper.
Ms. A became suspicious when she was touched on the lower half of her body for too long and consulted the Sugamo Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. The police carefully investigated the incident, interviewing several medical specialists to determine whether it was an act of obscenity or part of a medical procedure. This led to the arrest. During a voluntary interrogation prior to his arrest, Nishida denied committing the crime, explaining, “I don’t remember doing anything wrong, and I wanted to ensure the legitimacy of my medical treatment in case it became a problem later on.”
The suspect’s computer was found to contain more than 50 video clips of female patients. All of them are indecent in nature, including touching parts of the body that are not necessary for medical treatment. The police believe that a large number of women may have been victims.
[Female victim] was moved out of her room with all her might.
Nishida was born in Aomori Prefecture. After graduating from the National Defense Medical College, he had many specialties, including being a dementia specialist and advisor, and a specialist in general internal medicine from the Japanese Society of Internal Medicine. However, his reputation was not good. “Shukan Josei PRIME” and “Shueisha Online” reported that the following complaints about Nishida’s clinic were written on the Internet.
When I asked them to leave my bra on or to shift it a little, this time they shifted it all the way up and ended up exposing the whole of my body. I had a fever, so I couldn’t put up much of a fight, so I just went along with what they were doing.
In this post, she also states that she was alone with only a male doctor.
Perhaps because of the bad reputation of the clinic, the number of patients wishing to see the doctor has been decreasing. The clinic has been deserted. There are also stories on the Internet that the doctor was very familiar with the patients, even on the phone, using a “tame” tone of voice. It may be because there were no other patients, but there are rumors that the conversation was long and tiresome.
After the incident was discovered, a reporter went to the clinic and found that the sign had been removed and the place was deserted. The police are investigating the suspect, suspecting that he has additional crimes.
