<p> On December 19, the Tokyo District Court heard the first trial of Hizaka Kitamura, 56, a former principal of a public junior high school in Tokyo&#8217;s Nerima Ward, who is accused of violating the Child Prostitution and Pornography Law. Between 2009 and 2013, Kitamura is alleged to have repeatedly committed indecent acts against two female members of a club he advised at the junior high school where he worked at the time. Kitamura admitted to the charges, saying, &#8220;There is no doubt about it.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> Kitamura filmed the indecent acts with the female students and kept the data in a desk drawer in the principal&#8217;s office with a key. According to the prosecution, after his arrest, Kitamura allegedly told the police, &#8220;I&#8217;m not going to delete [the data]. According to prosecutors, after his arrest, Kitamura told the police, &#8220;I thought it would be a waste to delete the data, so I kept it to look at it later. He brought the data to the principal&#8217;s office because he feared that his wife, who had remarried, might find it at home.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The defendant, Kitamura, was also arrested on suspicion of semi-rape for sexually assaulting another female student. In this case, he called a female student to a room in the school and indecently assaulted her on the pretext of giving her a massage. Kitamura told the police, &#8220;I was not conscious of committing adultery. I fell in love with the victim and could not suppress my desire for her.</span></p>
<p> FRIDAY Digital&#8221; reported in detail on the case in which Kitamura was first arrested in an article distributed on September 14. We would like to recount the whole story of the former principal&#8217;s unbelievable crime (some parts have been corrected).</p>
<h2> He had a favor to do.</h2>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> In the past, he had been subjected to indecent acts by a teacher.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> The incident was uncovered by a single phone call to the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education&#8217;s &#8220;Third-Party Consultation Service. The caller was a female victim. After several rounds of communication with the person in charge, the woman contacted the police. When the police investigated the workplace and home of the suspected perpetrator, they found a video camera in the desk of the principal&#8217;s office that contained nude images of a female former student.</p>
<p> On September 10, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department&#8217;s Investigation Division 1 arrested Kitamura on suspicion of violating the Child Prostitution and Pornography Law (possession).</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The defendant admitted the crime, saying, &#8220;To the police investigation, there is no doubt that he was in possession of a camera containing images of a female student&#8217;s body being touched and nude. He said the following about his motive and the situation. &#8216;I saved (the images) thinking I might see them again,&#8217; and &#8216;I was taking images of the female student&#8217;s lower body being touched.</span></p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The female victim was a student at a junior high school in Tokyo where the defendant Kitamura used to work. The defendant Kitamura &#8216;had a liking for her. Her image was not the only one stored on the video. The police are investigating the case as they believe there are additional crimes.</span></p>
<p> Kitamura went to a prestigious public high school in Tokyo and then to a national university. At the university, he studied in the education department and focused mainly on science research. His reputation among parents and students was not bad.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent">&#8221;In interviews with various media outlets, graduates of the school where he worked and others responded positively, saying that he was &#8221;bright and kind&#8221; and &#8221;always smiling. After graduating from a national university, the defendant Kitamura worked at a junior high school in Bunkyo Ward.&#8217; In April 19, he became the principal of a junior high school in Nerima Ward. He was an enthusiastic teacher who also served as an advisor for the kendo club.</span></p>
<p> Kitamura was dismissed from his position in November. After the incident was discovered, the Nerima Ward Board of Education held a press conference and apologized as follows.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The Nerima Ward Board of Education held a press conference after the incident was discovered and apologized as follows: &#8220;We sincerely apologize for the arrest of the principal, who is in a position to teach and lead children and is the chief administrator of the school. We deeply apologize to the victims, students, parents, and residents of the district.</span></p>
<p> In recent years, there have been a number of indecent assaults by teachers at schools and cram schools; on September 11, a former teacher at Yotsuya Otsuka, a major cram school for junior high school entrance exams, was arrested again on charges of indecent assault and other offenses.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The Child and Family Agency intends to utilize the &#8220;Japanese version of DBS,&#8221; which is based on the British system and can check criminal records. This system allows schools and cram schools to check the criminal reference system when hiring teachers and instructors. It is hoped that this will serve as a deterrent to indecent assaults by teachers.</span></p>
<p> Having a &#8220;fondness&#8221; for a teacher is no excuse. Kitamura&#8217;s inability to control his own desires has inflicted a scar on the children and their guardians that will be remembered for a lifetime.</p>
