KANAZAWA, Ishikawa Pref. (Kyodo) A policeman who allegedly sent harassing e-mails to a woman who broke up with him was arrested Friday on suspicion of violating the antistalking law, police said.
Fukui Prefectural Police Sgt. Kazuyuki Yamashita, 31, a resident of the city of Fukui, has owned up to the harassment, police said.
An investigation determined that Yamashita sent 27 e-mails to the woman's mobile phone between July 23 and Aug. 17 asking her to talk to him.
Police said Yamashita became acquainted with the woman, a 25-year-old resident of Kanazawa, in 2005 but she dumped him in January. She contacted Ishikawa Prefectural Police on Monday.
The 2000 antistalking law sets penalties of imprisonment of up to six months or a fine of up to ¥500,000.
