Police sergeant arrested for molesting high school girl on train

URAYASU, Chiba -- A police officer was arrested for molesting a high school girl on a train on
Tuesday morning while he was on his way to work, local police said.

Kazumasa Yamaguchi, 36, a sergeant at the Metropolitan Police Department, stands accused of violating a Chiba prefectural ordinance prohibiting people from creating a nuisance.

He admitted to the allegations during questioning. "I molested her because she was my type," he was quoted as telling investigators.

Yamaguchi lifted up the skirt of the 16-year-old girl and fondled her body for about 10 minutes from about 7 a.m. on Tuesday on a JR Keiyo Line train while it was traveling between Minami-
Funabashi and Shin-Urayasu stations, investigators said.

The high school girl grabbed Yamaguchi and handed him over to officers after the train arrived at Shin-Urayasu Station.
