Former principal arrested for sexually assaulting pupil with “too dirty behind closed doors tricks” to “maintain his body.”
The act gradually escalated…
“From spring to summer of my second year of junior high school, Mr. Kitamura called me to the first science preparation room and said, ‘I’m going to give you a massage. At first, he touched my thighs and calves over my jersey, but after being called several times, he started touching my pubic area over my jersey and putting his hands inside my underwear,” said Ms. A.
Hisayoshi Kitamura, 57, former principal of a junior high school in Tokyo’s Nerima Ward, is accused of child prostitution and quasi-rape for sexually assaulting and injuring a female student, Ms. A, on the campus of the junior high school where he worked.
Mr. A took the stand at the first trial of the jury trial held on November 20, 2012, and revealed the sexual damage he had suffered behind closed doors.
In addition to sexually assaulting Ms. A, Kitamura was also accused of violating the Child Pornography Law by filming and possessing indecent acts of another female student, Ms. B. “In November 2010,” Kitamura said, “I was accused of sexually assaulting Ms. A. I was also accused of sexually assaulting her.
The case came to light in November 2010 when Ms. B called the Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education’s consultation service and said, ‘I was sexually assaulted by Mr. Kitamura when I was a junior high school student. At the time, I hung up the phone, saying, ‘I don’t dare to tell you my name,’ but in January of the following year, I received another consultation by e-mail. The Tokyo Metropolitan Board of Education continued the exchange and came to understand the damage.
Information was shared with the Nerima Ward Board of Education, which reported the matter to the Nerima Police Department in July.’ On September 10, 2011, the defendant Kitamura was arrested on suspicion of violating the Child Prostitution and Child Pornography Law. A search of the principal’s office revealed a video camera in a desk drawer. Since there were videos of him sexually assaulting not only Ms. B but also Ms. A, he was re-arrested on suspicion of quasi-rape on September 29.
Kitamura, out on bail, appeared in court wearing a gray suit, white shirt, and blue tie, and bowed deeply before entering the courtroom.
He met her as an “advisor for club activities.
Kitamura remarried a former student in 2009 and has a two-year-old child. After his arrest, he was dismissed from work on disciplinary grounds and has been supporting his family as a part-time cleaner.
It was more than 10 years ago that Mr. A entered the junior high school where Kitamura worked. At the school where Mr. Kitamura worked before he became principal, he was involved with Ms. A as an advisor for club activities, in charge of science, and as the head of the career guidance department.
Mr. A, who had been thinking about applying to a top public school since he first entered the school, had the following thoughts about junior high school life.
I thought it was important to do well not only in test scores, but also in class attitude and club activities. If you stop club activities or miss school for a long period of time, you will lose a lot of points in your internal examinations. I had already consulted with the defendant about the school he wanted to go to in the second year of junior high school.”
In the second year of junior high school, Mr. A was frequently called to the First Science Preparation Room by Mr. Kitamura, who told him that he would help him with physical maintenance.
When she opened the sliding door of Science Preparation Room No. 1, there was an impulse stand in front of her so that she could not see what was going on inside. There, I was instructed to lay something on the floor and lie on my back or face down on it. The defendant rubbed my feet, which he called a massage, but I never felt particularly uncomfortable at the time.
Ms. A was summoned to Science Preparation Room No. 1 on a weekly basis for various reasons, such as “I want to discuss the menu for our club activities.”
He also committed crimes using machines…
Gradually, the defendant Kitamura began to reveal his true nature.
He would only rub my legs and shoulders, but then he started touching my pubic area from the top of my jersey. At first I didn’t really understand what he meant, and I remember thinking, “Do you touch me there, too? I remember thinking, “What does that mean? He also put his hand inside my underwear and started touching my pubic area directly. I felt very uncomfortable and wondered what I should do, but I could not tell the defendant that I did not like it. I didn’t have the courage to say, ‘Please stop,’ and I felt as if I shouldn’t.”
In response to the prosecutor’s question, “Please tell us more about what you mean when you say you didn’t have the courage to say ‘I didn’t have the courage.
‘I had the feeling that I didn’t want to put into words what was being done to me. And I think I was afraid that if I refused the defendant, he might become unhappy. I thought that if my relationship with the defendant went bad, it might interfere with my subsequent life in junior high school.”
Despite her reluctance, Ms. A was unable to refuse the defendant’s calls, and the defendant’s behavior escalated further.
One day, I was called to the first science preparation room, where there was a sofa bed, and they began to take off my clothes there. Furthermore, instead of just touching me with their hands, they started using machines on me.
Not surprisingly, Kitamura brought an electric massage machine and other equipment to school.
