Manager nabbed for alleged voyeurism at Uniqlo fitting rooms in Tokyo

What an idiot, if he wants to see women changing their clothes he can look at pictures and download movies as much as he likes for free from the internet. Ruining his future, for what?

This type of crime is very common in all Western nations.

Hopefully Takahashi is jailed - and is banned from ever working in any environment with females.

Throwing his life and career away over underwear.

Not common in Western countries.

Highly prevalent here.

'Fighto!'..This type of crime is very common in all Western nations."

No. We have girlfriends and wives, not to mention a life.

he can look at pictures and download movies as much as he likes for free from the internet

apparently some of these sites let customers view a certain number of images for free after which they must provide new material themselves for others to enjoy.

kohei takahashi is not the first person to destroy his life after becoming addicted to something...

Not unlikely that he has been providing material to those sites.

@Offwithyourarrogance

sure... your opinions comes from the idea that your culture and society is perfect. Elitism?, Snobisim?, R..sim?

But no... if you are honest enough you will see that these type of thing is common every where.

or did you think that "voyeur" is a Japanese word??

Police, public officials and teachers are routinely in the news for the same offense. Voyeurism. It seems to be an outlet for stress.

Not unlikely that he has been providing material to those sites.

That's a really good insight, Legrande. This creep's like "Hey, I'm not just some ordinary pervert...I'm a content creator!"

Perhaps Kohei Takahashi, should have told the police when he was arrested that he was employed by UNIGLO as the sole manager of the "Pantiography department".

Another price of filth no doubt addicted to vile online pornography. He needs his testes removed and locked up in prison for a ruddy long stretch

I agree with you that it seems foolish, to us. I suspect it's the thrill of "getting away with it" as much as seeing the women's underwear. Same as shoplifters who steal inexpensive items for which they have the money to purchase. Adrenaline is addictive.

This is much worse than the hyped "sushi terrorism" pranks, which were done by random customers but resulted in sushi chains making big changes to their way of operating. Perhaps its just one bad apple and not Uniqlo Corporate's fault, but they owe it to their female customers to ensure this never happens again. Given the nature of it, I don't suppose compensating the victims can be done without further violating their privacy.

Violation of safe spaces for women is not remotely acceptable. I'd happily use soy sauce from a licked bottle 100 times rather than have some perv of a shop manager upskirt my daughters.

Why couldn't he just make good use of the internet if he had an itch to scratch? What a daft fellow.

This crime isn't so common in Europe. In fact the French don't even have a word for voyeur. (Thank you George Bush.)

This type of crime is very common in all Western nations.

Not really. It seems to be very common in Japan. The problem is many Japanese men who are inclined to do this sort of thing think they can get away with it.
