Train pervert cop arrested for molesting high school girl

An assistant police inspector has been arrested for molesting a high school girl on a train in Tokyo Thursday, police said.

The 56-year-old officer at Nerima Police Station, whose name was not immediately disclosed, was released after he admitted to the allegations during questioning.

The Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) is set to send an investigation report to prosecutors, accusing him of violating a Tokyo metropolitan ordinance prohibiting people from creating a nuisance.

The assistant inspector fondled the body of the 17-year-old high school girl on a JR Chuo Line train while it was traveling between Musashi-Sakai and Mitaka Thursday morning, MPD officials said.

The victim and some other passengers overpowered the officer and handed him over to police at Mitaka Station. (Mainichi)
