19 Comments

Police in Ikoma City, Nara Prefecture, have arrested a 51-year-old man on suspicion of violating the prefectural nuisance prevention ordinance after he filmed up a woman’s skirt at a train station.

Police said Yoshiaki Kubo, Nara TV Osaka branch manager, is accused of placing a bag under the woman's skirt on an escalator at Ikoma Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line, at around 4:35 p.m. on Monday, Sankei Shimbun reported.

A man who noticed Kubo acting suspiciously behind the woman detained him and called station staff.

Police said the bag contained a smartphone which was in video recording mode.

Police quoted Kubo as saying, "I filmed up her skirt as a way to relieve stress and frustration at work.”

"I filmed up her skirt as a way to relieve stress and frustration at work.”

I would recommend weight training and martial arts as a way to relieve stress and frustration at work.

Why didn't he just avail himself of the nearest urban red light district?

No need to walk around with a mobile phone taking pictures. You can find plenty of such stuff, international and domestic, for free download on the internet.

What a stupid man, risking a criminal record and his job for doing such a nonsense action.

I think it is an outgrowth for the human passion for hunting - snapping the camera at the perfect moment is analogical to pulling the trigger on a deer.

Doesn't make it legal, but that's the motivation.

Relieving the stress and frustration would come later whilst alone and looking at his pics.

No, there are other ways to relieve stress and frustration at work.

So is the camera guilty, or the service provider that sold it, or the decreased intellect that tells us cameras are smart? Unfortunately for that immoral pervert? He not smart enough to own the phone? Such behavior should be judged as personal assault. H.G. not looking at his pics. how about intellectual property rights= personal body rights?

Can't believe you got downvoted for saying this.

I will never, as long as I live, understand this fetish.

On the same phone you used to commit the crime for which you got busted, you have more hours of wankfodder than you could use, Scot-free in a thousand lifetimes.

what is wrong with you? Have a good admiration spectacle at a 3-d woman, put her in the memory bank and let her go on with her day.

Don’t let all the world know you’re a deviant.

That's an interesting way of looking at it. Never thought about it like that.
