Public groping incidents in Japan have been a considerable problem, and despite strategies such as “women-only carriages” to combat crimes of this nature, they continue to occur. Just a few months ago, we reported on the story of a JR company executive who committed suicide over a groping incident, as well as the tongue-in-cheek suggestion of a female celebrity, who had been groped on the way to work, that Japan introduce “women-only sidewalks”.

Now, 2ch.net has highlighted an incident reported in local news where a young man has been arrested for grabbing a schoolgirl’s breasts on the train, under the pretense that the train was “shaking” and she was in “danger”…

From Itai News:

Man Arrested For Shouting On Train “Danger, The Train Is Shaking!” And Grabbing High School Student’s Breasts With Both Hands

Hannan Man Arrested On Suspicion Of Touching High School Girl’s Breasts

On April 30, Wakayama West police force arrested Kotakane Yutaka (21), an employee of Hannan City Council, Osaka Prefecture, in violation of the “Osaka Prefecture Byelaw For Prevention Of Violent Hooliganism That Causes Significant Public Nuisance” for having touched a high school girl’s breasts.

According to the police, while onboard the Nankai Line Limited Express “Sazan No. 45” train which left Namba Station at 7:10pm and arrived at Wakayama City Station at 8:10pm, the man is accused of saying “Danger, the train is shaking!” and touching the breasts of a high school girl from Osaka Prefecture who attends a private high school in the prefecture.

Kotakane is said to have asked the girl “Which high school are you from? Give me your e-mail address!” while the girl was standing in the connecting corridor between the fourth and fifth carriages with her friend, and then groped her. Since Kotakane had then followed the victim when she left the connecting corridor with her friend, they reported the incident to the train’s conductor (36).

Kotakane denies the allegations, saying that “I did talk to them, but I did not sexually harass them”.

しぃ(長屋)：

Is this a comedy sketch or something?

トンキニーズ(東京都)：

This is like something from a manga.

アフリカゴールデンキャット(神奈川県)：

Hmm, so there was this trick, too.

バーミーズ(四国地方)：

Damn, and it would have been forgiven if he was the main character of a manga…

ボルネオヤマネコ(庭)：

I bet this bastard thought that after caressing some tits he’d arrive at the station and get away with it.

デボンレックス(福島県)：

Must have been dangerous because the girl’s breasts were shaking.

バリニーズ(内モンゴル自治区)：

So was it the train that was shaking about, or the boobs?

ヨーロッパオオヤマネコ(庭)：

I, with my gentlemanly heart, have been damaged by this story.

サーバル(東京都)：

I’d have had to point out that she was shaking her tits at me and that she should be arrested.

パンパスネコ(大阪府)：

Thing is, jiggling breasts are a dangerous weapon. I think that his conduct was quite ethical.

ジャパニーズボブテイル(広島県)：

So he saved her from a dangerous situation and he was the one who was arrested?

マレーヤマネコ(大阪府)：

He was going to lose it.

It was dangerous.

ヨーロッパオオヤマネコ(関西・北陸)：

If you’re not a lucky pervert, you’re gonna get arrested dude.

ボルネオヤマネコ(dion軍)：

Damn, so we can’t get away with this one any more?

サビイロネコ(静岡県)：

And this one is the way the handsome guys do it.

サーバル(東京都)：

If he’d been handsome, she’d have said “This guy was concerned about the safety of my breasts!” And no more would have been said.

アフリカゴールデンキャット(関東・甲信越)：

It’s just like an Osaka guy to even be trying out his comedy sketches on the train!

マンクス(熊本県)：

He can caress tits for as long as he likes if he pays for it!

Why did he ruin the his life for it?
