Former Child Care Worker Arrested Seven Times for Indecency with Pupil Speaks in Court of “Horrifying Motive”

Arrested seven times for forced sexual intercourse, etc.

I was unable to control myself and acted according to my greed. That greed is the sexual desire to do the same things that were shown in the child pornography videos in my possession.”

On September 24, 2012, during the fifth trial held at the Tokyo District Court, defense counsel asked the defendant, “Why did you do what you were accused of?

Nagata is accused of sexually assaulting seven children (A-G in the order of indictment) at two licensed daycare centers in Tokyo, where she worked, and filming the assaults, which she is charged with forcible sexual intercourse, violation of the Child Pornography Law, and other crimes.

Nagata began working as a nursery school teacher in ’17, and in April ’22 moved to and worked at a nursery school where her own father was the director.’ He was arrested on January 17, ’24 for sexually assaulting a preschooler, but it was discovered that he had repeatedly committed similar crimes. He was repeatedly re-arrested and eventually arrested seven times.

Many of Nagata’s relatives are nursery school teachers, and he also has a relative who runs a different nursery school from his father’s, which the prosecutor described as ‘a family of nursery school teachers, so to speak. Nagata was also supposed to take over her father’s nursery school, and she described her reason for becoming a nursery school teacher as ‘riding the rails that were laid out for me.

At the fifth trial, the defendant Nagata was questioned.

Nagata first committed the crime against G-chan, a child in her class, at the end of 2009, when she had been working as a day care worker for five years. The trigger was that “G-chan’s sleeping position during nap overlapped with the image of child pornography, and I felt sexual feelings toward her,” said Nagata.

At first, I didn’t remember any sexual desire toward her,” he said. However, the unrealistic things that happened in her daily life gradually made her feel lustful, and she committed the crime.

Unable to control himself: ……

Why did he act on the idea of sexually assaulting G-chan when he saw her sleeping? In response to the prosecutor’s question, Nagata continued, “I used to collect child pornography videos.

I had originally collected child pornography videos, but in my mind, I saw them as something from some distant world. Even with my knowledge as a childcare worker, it was a huge shock to me that I would feel sexualized by something that was happening right in front of my eyes. I felt what I had felt in child pornography with the children in front of me. As a result of the conflict between my position as a childcare worker and my greed, I gave in to my greed” (defendant Nagata).

When moving from one class to another for extended care, Nagata was left alone with G-chan and took her under the piano, which was a blind spot for security cameras, and sexually assaulted her (at this point, she claims she was unaware that the area under the piano was a blind spot for security cameras).

After the crime, he stated, “I felt impatience and a sense of despair for myself that I had done something so terrible, and I felt sorry and guilty for Ms. G herself.

I had been thinking in my head and in my heart that I had to stop, that I could not let the number of victims increase any further. But my mind and body were already pointing in the exact opposite direction, and to be honest, I really lost control of myself” (defendant Nagata).

As for filming the sexual assaults of some of the victims, he said, “I thought I would look back on it later. It was only for my own viewing, and I did not spread the information,” he said.

The father had resigned from his position as director of the day-care center, which he had planned to take over eventually, and when he met with Nagata, he informed Nagata that he was severing ties with him. He is divorced from his wife, and the division of property is being processed.

He has given most of his income to his ex-wife, and only a few tens of thousands of yen remains in his account. When asked by his lawyer, “What do you think about compensation for the damage?” Nagata’s lawyer asked him, “How do you feel about compensating for the damage?

I would like to pay for the damage, but I don’t have the money at the moment. I don’t know how many years it will take, but I would like to pay those who are willing to receive it after I eventually return to society, find a job, and earn money.

Nagata admits that he is a sex addict. He promised that he would go to a hospital for treatment when he returned to society and that he would never work in a job that involves children again. He ended his defense counsel’s questioning with an apology.
