Separate incidents of alleged misconduct by teachers in Japan have been reported in Kyoto and Tokyo. In Kyoto, a 30-year-old municipal high school teacher was re-arrested following an initial arrest for filming a 16-year-old female on a train. During police questioning, the suspect reportedly stated that the behavior had become a habit he “could not stop.” This led to further investigation into an incident on July 23, where the suspect allegedly used a tablet to film a female from behind inside the high school. Following these investigations, the Kyoto City Board of Education issued a disciplinary dismissal for the teacher, who is suspected of violating laws regarding the unauthorized filming of sexual postures. The teacher reportedly expressed remorse, stating, “I cannot face my students. I am sorry.” The board emphasized its commitment to restoring trust in education and eradicating such misconduct. In Tokyo, a 31-year-old teacher at Tokyo Metropolitan Kodaira Minami High School was arrested for suspected non-consensual sexual acts involving a recent graduate. The suspect allegedly lured the former student to a preparation room under the guise of career counseling and touched her upper body, claiming it was a massage for her posture. The suspect has denied lewd intentions, maintaining the contact was intended only as a massage.
