<h2><span class="strongInContent"> I have no intention of accepting a settlement.</span></h2>
<p> On October 15, the Tokyo District Court held the first trial for Takeshi Hosoya, 39, who is charged with sexual intercourse with a high school girl on a subway train.</p>
<p> According to the indictment, in June of this year, Hosoya committed indecent acts, including touching a 15-year-old female student on her way to school, on a Tokyo Metro Tozai Line train. The female student and her relatives reported to the police station that they had been molested by the same man since around August of last year. Later, the police officers arrested Hosoya for riding on the train with the female student and committing the indecent act.</p>

<p> Hosoya appeared in court in a black suit with a shaved head and round glasses, looking very serious. He appeared nervous throughout the trial, with his brow creased and a nervous expression on his face. As for the charges against him, he said, &#8220;I admit to everything,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I admit to everything.</span></p>
<p> He answered clearly, &#8220;I admit to everything. In the courtroom, Hosoya was like a &#8220;Jekyll and Hyde&#8221; character, revealing his two sides: the serious, honest office worker and the vile, molesting molester.</p>
<p> The prosecution&#8217;s opening statement reveals Hosoya&#8217;s unusual obsession with female students.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Hosoya waited for the female student on the station platform, and upon confirming her presence, boarded the same train. He then stood behind the girl and proceeded to molest her, holding her close to his body.</p>
<p> The female student, unable to resist due to fear, got off the train for a change and boarded another train. After being seated, she looked in front of her and saw Hosoya standing in front of her. When the passenger seated to the right of the female student got off the train, Hosoya sat down in the same place, hid his hands in his backpack, and began to molest her again. His persistence is nothing short of horrifying.</p>
<p> The statement of the girl&#8217;s father was also read out,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> My heart aches that I was not able to notice. It pains me to think that he had to put up with it for such a long time. My daughter&#8217;s wounds will not heal quickly, and I hope that she will be punished severely. I have no intention of accepting any settlement.</span></p>
<p> He expressed his strong feelings of punishment, saying, &#8220;I am not going to accept any settlement.</p>
<div class="expapp-yahoo-paragraph-break"></div>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" She claims that the cause of her molestation was severe stress."></div>
<div></div>
<h2><span class="strongInContent">The boyfriend did not know that he had two prior convictions.</span></h2>
<p> Hosoya&#8217;s boyfriend, Mr. A, appeared in court for questioning, and the two began dating five years ago and had been living together and in a common-law relationship prior to the incident. When asked by the defense attorney about Hosoya&#8217;s character, he replied, &#8220;People around me call him serious and sincere,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He had a reputation for being serious and sincere. People around him forced him to be sincere. In order to live up to that reputation, he took on work that he could not handle, took care of his mother who was seriously ill, and did odd jobs in his hobby of theater.</span></p>
<p> He also complained that he was under severe stress.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> However, Mr. Hosoya had two previous convictions of the same kind, and Ms. A was &#8220;very surprised&#8221; to learn of this when he was arrested this time, and also expressed her shock. On the other hand, he promised that he would not let Hosoya ride the train alone after his release from prison, and said, &#8220;I will continue to live with him and support his life.</p>
<p> Next, Hosoya himself was examined as a witness. When asked by the defense attorney about his motive for committing the crime, he replied,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He explained, &#8220;Because of a slight misunderstanding, my girlfriend (Ms. A) and I had stopped having sex, and I had become frustrated.</span></p>
<p> He explained that he was frustrated because he and his girlfriend (Ms. A) had been having sex for a while. As for the reason for stalking the female student, he said, &#8220;I was frustrated because she was having sex with me,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> The victim looked like her (Ms. A),&#8221; he said.</span></p>
<p> He gave a surprising testimony that the reason he stalked the female student was because &#8220;the victim looked like her (Mr. A). The defense attorney questioned him about his selfish motive, asking whether he had not considered the victim&#8217;s feelings. Hosoya answered, &#8220;No. I was just thinking about how scared the victim was,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t imagine how scared the victim must have been,&#8221; Hosoya said.</span></p>
<p> Hosoya said, &#8220;I couldn&#8217;t imagine how frightening it was for the victim. However, he said that his feelings changed when he came into contact with other suspects during his arrest and detention.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was afraid of the jail, and in fact, I was threatened by the suspect in the same room. But when I thought about it, I realized that I was one of the scary people. I think I was really scared to be followed. I swear that from now on I will not cause any new victims.</span></p>
<p> He said he was sorry for what he had done.</p>

<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" I can relieve myself by venting my stress."></div>
<div></div>
<h2><span class="strongInContent">The judge also noted a fear of recidivism</span></h2>
<p> During this time, he underwent counseling at the recommendation of Mr. A,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8216;I realized that I have a distortion in my personality. I want to get treatment as soon as possible. It was thanks to her (Ms. A) that I realized it. I don&#8217;t want her to be sad any more.</span></p>
<p> I don&#8217;t want to cause her any more grief,&#8221; he said tearfully. He cited stress as his motive for committing the crime, but the prosecutor pointed out that he had a criminal record.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Nevertheless, Hosoya said, &#8220;I have a propensity for such things,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I have such a propensity, and I was able to recognize the distortion in my personality through counseling. I can get rid of it by venting my stress.&#8221;</span></p>
<p> He stated, &#8220;I can get rid of it if I release my stress. When <span class="strongInContent">asked</span> about his continued molestation of the female student, <span class="strongInContent">&#8220;Was it because she did not resist?&#8221;</span> When asked, &#8220;Was it because you didn&#8217;t resist?</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I had that thought in my mind,&#8221; he admitted.</span></p>
<p> He honestly admitted that he had thought about it.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> The judge also pointed out the fear of a second offense. When asked about the fact that he was fined the last time he was arrested, Hosoya said, &#8220;The only one who knew was my father,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> He said, &#8220;My father was the only one who knew about it, and I never told anyone. I never quit my job, and I was able to keep it a secret,&#8221; he recalled.</span></p>
<p> He recalled, &#8220;I was able to conceal the fact that I had been terrorizing the girls for a long time.</p>
<p> There is not a shred of sympathy for the terror he caused the girls over a long period of time.</p>


 On October 15, the Tokyo District Court heard the first trial of a man accused of repeatedly molesting a high school girl on a subway train. The reason why he targeted the same person was difficult to understand.

Company employee arrested for long-term molestation of one high school girl “because she looked like his girlfriend.” ……
