TOKYO (AP) -- A policeman in western Japan is facing disciplinary measures after he was caught using a hidden camera to take a photograph up the skirt of a young woman, an official said Wednesday.

The 42-year-old police sergeant, whose name was not released, used a digital camera to surreptitiously snap the shots when the woman was reporting a stolen bicycle at his station in the western city of Takarazuka.

The woman became suspicious after she saw a flash go off. She later reported the incident to prefectural (state) police, a spokesman said on condition of anonymity.

The sergeant has admitted to the accusations and is expected to face disciplinary action, the spokesman said, without elaborating.

The camera was not police property, he added.

Newspapers reported that police will ask prosecutors to charge the sergeant with violating public nuisance laws, but the spokesman said the punishment was still under consideration.

Officer pinched for peaking [sic] up girl's dress

OSAKA -- A police sergeant will face charges after he used a small digital camera to photograph up a girl’s dress while she visited a police box in Takarazuka, Hyogo Prefecture, to report a theft, it was learned Wednesday.

Hyogo police are preparing to send to prosecutors documents accusing the 42-year-old sergeant at Takarazuka Police Station of breaking a Hyogo Prefectural Government ordinance forbidding people from creating a public nuisance.

The policeman, whose name has not been disclosed, has admitted to shooting up the girl’s skirt and is apparently remorseful over his actions.

Hyogo Prefectural Police, however, are furious.

“We regard this matter with the utmost seriousness and will treat it in the most stern way,” Nobuyuki Kishimoto, Hyogo Prefectural Police internal affairs spokesman, said.

“We are so upset that we don’t know the appropriate words to apologize to the people of Takarazuka,” said Takarazuka Police Station chief Satoru Yamauchi.

Police said that early this month, the girl in her teens turned up at a police box in Takarazuka where the sergeant was posted to report that her bicycle had been stolen. While she was there, the sergeant, suspecting the girl would not notice, used his digital camera to take a photo up her skirt.

However, the girl saw the flash of the camera and reported the incident to prefectural police the following day.

Takarazuka Police Station has badly tarnished its crime-fighting reputation in a number of incidents this year. In January, a sergeant was sacked after his arrest for raping and hurting a schoolgirl. The following month, another sergeant was given a pay cut after he bashed a railway employee, while in June an assistant inspector was suspended for one month when he was found to be driving while intoxicated.

in Japan, this is comepletely inexcusable. I mean, half the phones now have cameras and most need no flash.

I hope she was wearing Sphincterine. "It tingles!"

Groan. Some guys never grow up. Hey, I used to roll my eyeballs at the age of eight when some little punk cried "woo, woo, I see your panties" when I fell off a playground carosel. It's not like I was not wearing any underwear, (just plain white lollipops) or flashing thong undies on purpose. What a pathetic way for boys to get their jollies. Being a female, I just don't get it...

[bedolido]

the best part about this is... he used a "flash" camera...

D'OH!.

[Consort]

He was copping a look.

I have to admit it... I enjoy females... albeit with their consent.

[ChewedGum]

Can't get over the fact he used a flash. Sheesh.

"Being a female"

And we can turn this into an Anna thread as well! She is wearing underwear in this picture so the moderator doesn't need to delete it.

"What a pathetic way for boys to get their jollies. Being a female, I just don't get it..."



Mary,a little girl in Elementary school, saw some boys climbing up the flagpole. The little boys told Mary they would give her a piece of gum if she climebed the flagpole, so up the pole she went. When Mary got home she told her mom how she got the gum, her mother said Mary don't climb that flagpole the boys just want to see your panties.

The next day the same thing happened but this time the boys said We'll give you two pieces of gum if you climbed the flagpole, so she climbed it again. When she got home she showed her mom her gum and the mother said again, don't climb that flagpole those boys just want to see your panties.

The same thing happened the next day, she climbed the flag pole and this time they gave her three pieces of gum. That night her mom saw her chewing her gum and said Mary I told you not to climb that flagpole anymore those boys just want to see your panties, Mary replied don't worry mom I fooled those boys today I didn't wear any panties.
