Hyogo man sought by police in relation to possible sex assault on minors
HYOGO —
Police are looking for a man who attacked a junior high school female student in a possible sexual assault attempt and then fled, in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture on Wednesday night.
According to police, the assault happened at around 7:20 p.m when the girl, aged 12, was on her way home from an evening cram school. A man suddenly approached and held her from the back, causing her to fall to the ground, injuring her elbow. The man fled on a bicycle that was parked nearby.
Witnesses described the attacker as being approximately 170-180 tall, in his 50s and wore a black windbreaker.
Police said that just about an hour before the crime, a separate case of sexual assault was reported in the same area, where the victim was a 9-year-old girl. She told police that a middle-aged man touched her inappropriately. Police are investigating whether the same man was involved in both cases.

Hope they get this creep. Nobody needs to be subjected to this, especially kids.

I feel bad for the girls that have to put up with the abuse of these fiends. All I can say is let one of this deviants come to where I live and get caught doing this. I am pretty sure he will find himself/themselves in a whole new world of surprise. I am not saying anything violent will happen, but apprehension by the JP's may be there best choice.
