A man persistently calls out to a high school girl. The girl runs away when the stranger grabs her hand. The man chased the high school girl for about 50 meters before committing the unforgivable act.
On October 29, the Metropolitan Police Department’s Shakujii Police Station arrested Tomohiko Ito, 25, of Nerima Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of robbery and sexual intercourse without consent. It is alleged that he sexually assaulted a high school girl, A, who was on her way home.
The alleged incident took place after 6:00 p.m. on September 11. Ito approached Ms. A, whom he did not know, on a street in Nerima Ward and asked her, “What grade are you in? and grabbed her hand. Ms. A was startled and ran away. The suspect chased her for 50 meters.
After catching up with her, the suspect took Ms. A into an empty condominium and threatened her, saying, “If you don’t want to be killed, you should take off your underwear. If you don’t want to be killed, take off your underwear! The suspect then took Ms. A to a deserted condominium. The suspect sexually assaulted Ms. A for about 10 minutes, took her underwear, and fled. The police have not revealed whether the suspect is guilty or not.
If you pay me with your body, you’ll get even.
Ms. A, who had been violently assaulted, rushed to a nearby police box and complained about the damage, and the incident was discovered.
The photographer for this magazine photographed the suspect’s arrest on October 30, immediately after his arrest. He showed no sign of offense, and was astonished to see him getting into the convoy with a hail of bullets.
In recent years, there have been many cases of indecent assaults on the street. The following is a list of the main troubles.
In July last year, a man in his 30s was arrested on suspicion of forcible indecency for allegedly attempting to hug and sexually assault a female college student on a street in Itabashi Ward at 1 am in June. He followed the college student after he had spotted a woman he liked. The female student ran away when she noticed the man approaching from behind, but he caught up with her and touched her breasts and other parts. The seized man’s smartphone was found to contain more than 100 spy photos of an unspecified number of women. He told investigators that he was “controlled by his impulses.
In August of last year, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department arrested a man in his 50s. A bicycle collided with another bicycle on a street in Nerima Ward, and the man riding the bicycle and a woman in her teens fell over. The man stuffed up the bicycle, saying that the basket of the bicycle was broken. He then took the woman to a nearby parking lot and indecently assaulted her, saying, “If you pay me with your body, I’ll make it even. The man admitted the charge, saying, “There is no doubt about it.
If a woman feels insecure, she should not try to deal with the situation alone, but go into a nearby convenience store or yell for help.
