Japanese man calls police to ask if dating an underage schoolgirl is illegal, gets arrested
Talk about being hoist by your own petard.
A man in Japan apparently rang up police to ask them if it was against the law to date a 15-year-old girl? This led to police investigating him and finding he had naked photos of a third-grader in his home.
The unemployed Hisao Okazaki (45) was arrested by Kanagawa police on suspicion of violating laws against child prostitution and child pornography, after he was found to have taken pictures of a half-naked female junior high school student with his smartphone and saved the data.
Okazaki has apparently admitted the charges. “I certainly took pictures of a naked 15-year-old girl,” he is quoted by the press.
The allegations are that Okazaki took photos of the 15-year-old girl at his home in Kanagawa in October last year while she was still in third grade. He then stored 11 files. He later had sex with her, on January 4th of this year.
He apparently got to know her in September through a chat app and claims that they were going to get married.
He then made the fatal mistake of calling the local cops to ask if it was a crime to data a 15-year-old girl (it is). Then the police came knocking.
