WAKAYAMA — A police sergeant was arrested Friday for sexually molesting female high school students with whom he became acquainted after he questioned them on the street in Wakayama.
The officer, identified as Kenichi Tanaka, 31, stopped and questioned two high school students riding on a minibike around 2 a.m. Thursday morning. When his shift was over around 10:30 a.m. the same day, he allegedly called one of the girls on her cell phone, saying they might be in trouble for both riding on the one bike. He told the girls they would have to meet him at a hotel where he allegedly molested them.
The girls reported the incident to their parents who notified police. "I did a bad thing," Tanaka was quoted as saying. "It is something that a police officer should never do. We are deeply sorry," a police spokesperson said.
