SAITAMA —

Police said Thursday they have arrested a man for sneaking into a school to take photos of female teachers in a toilet in Sayama City, Saitama Prefecture. When he was spotted by a teacher, he tried to flee but she caught him, police said.

Seiji Kono, 23, who lives in Tokyo, was arrested for allegedly sneaking into the school to take photos in the women’s toilet around 9:40 a.m. on Wednesday. According to police, he hid himself in one of the toilet cubicles, putting a note on the door saying “Out of service,” so no one would come in. But a female teacher, 36, spotted him and chased him out into the corridor where she caught him.

Police said Kono had two cameras on him.

What's with all the rampant sex crimes going down in Saitama?

Last week it was kids filming porn in Maccas.

Bit I like is how a woman can chase a man down and apprehend him. Same as women who drag gropers on the train off by the tie and march them to the station office. Try doing that in London or NY

Good on the female teacher that caught this sad individual!

BTW, I have to confess my shock at seeing an ad for the Church of Scientology on this page! Are they sponsors or part owners of this site?

Weren't there cases where mini-cameras were placed inside the toilet pan?

This kind of thing happens all over the world.

However, I would venture to say it happens quite a lot more in Japan. After one lives in Japan for a few years it is pretty easy to see that the nature of sex in this country is pretty sick.

Well I'm not surprised that actually happens a lot in school. But what I'm puzzled about is how a female teacher stops a desperate insane man.

I don't see the attraction in listening to and photographing someone taking a dump or changing a sanitary pad. Too much wild porn and no social skills. Id blame the internet but it has other values other than being a cesspool for porn.

im already thinking about his jail intro, "so what are you here for?"

Romulus3 You just said a mouthful there! "Too much wild porn and no social skills." Given that toilets are there for the purposes of disposal of bodily wastes, this is erotic how? (Pepto Bismol, barf bag anyone?)
