A man was arrested on a charge of kidnapping after allegedly luring a
little girl into a toilet and sexually assaulting her, according to
police in Japan.
Tokyo police said that they have arrested 36-year-old Taro Sato, after
being accused of sexually assaulting a 4-year-old girl in the toilet of a
department store.
Sato was charged with kidnapping and sexual assault.
According to the police investigation, the incident unfolded on
Wednesday around 2:30 p.m., at the Tobu Department Store, which is
located at the JR Ikebukuro Station.
He lured the girl with a toy, and then took her into the menโs bathroom,
where he molested her. He then left the bathroom with the girl, and
returned 10 minute later to sexually assault her again.
He then left her outside the toilet. The girl was shopping with her
mother before the attack, but they got separated. When the girl went
home, she told her mother what happened.
Police reviewed surveillance video and tracked down the suspect.
During questioning, Sato told police that every time he sees a woman, he
wants to touch her, but since he hates adult women, he looks for little
girls.
