19-year-old student arrested for attacking girl in school toilet in Yamagata

22 Comments

Police said Thursday that a 19-year-old male prep school student has been arrested for allegedly slashing a girl in a high school toilet in Yamagata City on Wednesday.

The suspect, who cannot be named because he is a minor, apparently sneaked into Yamagata Higashi High School sometime around 7 a.m. on Wednesday morning, TV Asahi reported. He hid in the toilet and attacked the 18-year-old girl with a knife, slashing her clothes.

He then fled, but was escorted to a police station by his mother around 3:30 Wednesday afternoon. Police said he handed in a cardboard cutting knife and confessed to the attack, TV Asahi reported.

The youth, who graduated from the same school earlier this year, was quoted as saying that he planned to sexually assault any girl he could find and that he did not know his victim personally, TV Asahi reported.

Oh 19?? This little boy is still a minor?? Yeah right! I want to find this so called minor, and see how tough this punk is! Poor girl, I do hope she is ok.

If I were Japanese, I would be very ashamed now, knowing these kind of hentai youth are out there, maybe time to teach young ladies here a bit of KARATE??

Can I just say good on the Mother for handing him in. That must have been a very hard thing to do, but she can obviously see there is a problem there with him needing proper treatment. As a Mother that must be a hard thing to have to face up to so I am pretty impressed by her.

This is obviously a very sick, mixed up young man. I am just grateful his problems have been discovered and will hopefully now get the professional attention they need before anyone was seriously hurt.

I hope the young girl recovers quickly from her ordeal. She must have been terrified, poor girl.

I wonder how the mom found out?

Props to the mother for turning in her kid! Not many mothers in Japan would do that; they'd just defend their kid, or accuse the victim. Thumbs up for the mom!

That's true in many cases, I must admit. It reminds me of the very old case of the girl in the cement drone. Her rapist-murderers' parents heard her pleas many times but always ignored her. Hmmm..

If you're going to turn yourself in, do it yourself. There are too many youths who can't do anything without their mothers. I've don't recall of anyone going to a school to rape someone though.

Prob is with Japans youth. Too much sex things around the kids. Short skirts, magazines, internet, but TOO shy to go after girls. Young gilrls here date much older men. Older men want young girls because they fantasized about them so much when they were young but couldnt do anything about it. This is why so many j men obsessed with young girls.Teen boys must man up and start relationships. Get a kiss. 2nd or 3rd base. It doesnt have to be sex. I truelly feel sorry for the boys in this country.

lol this is one weird story. his mother?! how did she find out?? lol anyways, i find that many so called "adults" still act immature.

Awe, just a little 19 year old little boy. A minor. Send him to an adult prison and he won't feel like a minor for long. This is just sickening. How long before the J-government changes their law and starts trying minors as adults for serious crimes. This will never end because these so-called "minors" will keep getting away with this. Change the law, Japan!!!!!!!!

Good parents always know that their "children" should always have cosequences for anything they do wrong. This mother made sure her son was made to take responsibility for his actions. When I have kids the first thing they'll learn is that it is better to be disciplined by the parents because sooner or later it won't be them punishing the children, but the world. And we all know the world doesn't have much in the way of leniency.

The guy needs help. Sneaks into a school he already graduated from (great security there, huh?) hides in the girl's bathroom and slashes the clothes of the first girl who comes in, then runs home. He then explains to his mom what he did and she escorts him down to the nearest koban to turn him in. Sounds like he WANTED to be caught.

After these series of knife attacks, I bought some pepper spay for my wife. I think I need a compact baseball bat on my backpack.

Either this bloke didn't get enough attention at home or he got too much. I can imagine the conversation at the breakfast table. Mum "Why is there blood on your shirt?" 19-year-old male prep school student "Either I cut my self shaving or maybe I might have hidden in the girl's loo at school and slashed the first one to come in, intending to rape her. I can't remember which."

Albert, if you get a bat, by all means buy one of those souvenirs at the stadium and leave it in the wrapping, leave the price on it. Best to leave it in the bag. Then if the local bobbies want to have a go at a foreigner, you can say you bought it as a souvenir for your nephew and forgot it was in your backpack. If there is no law against carrying a small club, the police can invent one and hold you for a good while longer than you will feel pleasant.

Before I forget. I just think that these mangas are horrible. Every day I can see in the trains that people reading things about girl wearing short skirts, showing the bum... everything about sex or similar things. This nation needs something better. They must change the lawn against these chikans!

Japan has this weird law that even 18, 19 years old and what 360 days is still a MINOR! This is STUPID! Time to revise this law so young men in this country can GROW UP and understand that rapes, hurting people etc..are REAL CRIMES. If they had a national debate here in Japan about this and also say LOWER the age to 18 to VOTE too, I bet more and more so called minors would understand that it is time to grow up, either go to school or get a job, but not just sit around the house planning how to rape, etc...

19 years old and still a minor? Then he will not be convicted not until he reach the age of majority?
