Driven by Hidden Desires: Judo School Principal’s Predatory Crimes Against Five Young Girls Exposed

Arrested for the seventh time in June

“I began to feel excited about having sex without being found out, secretly doing sexual things without people knowing, such as taking secret photos, and looking at sexual parts of people, so I committed the crimes.”

The former head of a judo school who sexually assaulted multiple girls at judo training camps and other facilities reportedly stated this as his motive during questioning by prosecutors.

“On November 27, 2014, the Chiba Prefectural Police Hara Police Station arrested Ishino Yuta (32), the head of a judo school, on suspicion of assault, forcing the soy sauce into the mouth of a male child, Mr. A (at the time 11) during a training camp in May 2013. Ishino was also re-arrested on December 26th for another assault on Mr. A.

This was discovered after Mr. A’s parents consulted the police, and during the investigation, a large amount of child pornography believed to have been filmed by Ishino was found on a smartphone owned by Ishino. After analyzing the images and videos, Ichihara Police Station re-arrested Ishino on suspicion of unconsensual sexual intercourse on January 7th of this year, for sexually assaulting B-chan, who was under the age of 13 at the time of the incident.

As the investigation proceeded, one after another, all of the crimes were discovered. In 2021, X, who was under the age of 18, was re-arrested on June 10th on suspicion of committing lewd acts at home and was arrested for the seventh time. He was charged with violating the Child Welfare Act on June 30th. On March 27, the All-Japan Judo Federation decided to expel Ishino, the most serious punishment, as the expulsion” (reporter of the National Papers and Social Affairs Department).

Put a girl to sleep with sleeping pills and sexually assaulted her

On June 27th, defendant Ishino’s first trial was held at the Chiba District Court. Defendant Ishino has been charged with nine charges, including assaulting Mr. A, disagreeing with five girls under the age of 13 (B-F in the order of indictment), unconsensual sexual intercourse, unconsensual indecency, photography, etc., and violation of the Child Pornography Prohibition Act.

Ishino, who entered the court in a gray T-shirt and sweatpants, had a shaved head, and compared to the photographs he was photographed as a principal, he seemed to have been a little smaller.

“It’s going to be a long time, so please sit,” and the defendant Ishino sat on the testimony table after Judge Miyamoto Satoshi said, and the prosecutor spent more than 30 minutes reading out the six indictments. First, I recited an indictment regarding assault on Mr. A.

“On May 3, 2024, during a judo school camp held at a lodging facility in Chiba Prefecture, the accused, who was so excited by Mr. A’s attitude, assaulted him by lying on his stomach, including tightening the neck of Mr. A’s face down with his right arm, and then, after dinner, he told him, ‘You’d sleep a little,’ and assaulted him on his back, pouring soy sauce into Mr. A’s mouth.”

Between 2022 and 2024, all sexual assaults committed by five former girls of B-F, who were under the age of 13 at the time of the incident, were all unaware that they had been victimized while the victim was sleeping. A note from the defendant Ishino had discovered on his smartphone that said, “Sleeping pills training camp: I’ll give him sleeping pills when he goes to sleep.”

“Touched her genitals and poured condensed milk on them.”

The indictment and opening statements list many horrifying crimes that even use sleeping pills to satisfy their own desires.

“The defendant wanted to do something sexual to Mr. B, who was attending the camp, and gave him a juice containing sleeping pills. He had oral sex with Mr. B, who was sleeping.”

“The defendant, who was attending the training camp, inserted his finger into his genitals while he was sleeping, involved in sexual intercourse. In addition, at another camp, he gave him a juice containing a sleeping pill and tried to have oral sex with C, who was sleeping, but C moved his face, so he was unable to have oral sex.”

“The defendant flipped through Mr. D’s clothes in the car parked in the service area, touched her body, and had oral sex. During the training camp, she also inserted her finger into Mr. D’s genitals, who was sleeping, and had sex. On another day, she ejaculated into Mr. D’s face, who was sleeping, and then she was indecent, and then put semen into her mouth.”

“During the camp, the defendant took off the sleeping E-chan’s clothes, touched her genitals, and ejaculated into the thighs. At another camp, she was involved in indecent acts, such as flipping through the sleeping E-chan’s clothes and touching her body.”

“The defendant, who was participating in the training camp, flipped through her clothes, touched her genitals, and poured condensed milk around it, causing indecent acts. Another training camp involved oral sex.”

Defendant Ishino took a photo of herself sexually assaulting a girl and showing the girl not wearing clothes on her smartphone, and about 100 video data and about 450 still images recorded of the crimes against B-F.

During the trial, some of the statements made by the parents of the victim’s female victim was read out, but all of them all felt a harsh feeling of punishment, saying, “We will never tolerate the defendant” and “We will ask for strict punishment.”

Defendant Ishino admitted to the indictment, saying, “Everything is correct.” Will we be able to hear sincere apologies to the victims and their parents during the upcoming trial?
