Principal busted for distributing nude photos of ex-colleague
August 30, 2004
Okayama - A school principal who distributed composite photos showing a former
teacher's head attached to a nude body has been arrested, police said.
The principal, Tsuyoshi Hashimoto, was arrested for defamation after police
caught him distributing the photographs on a road near the 34-year-old
teacher's home.
"I was angry at her attitude and her language," Hashimoto was quoted as telling
police after his arrest.
Investigators said Hashimoto drove to an area near the teacher's home at about
8:45 p.m. on Sunday and threw three composite photographs making the teacher
look like she was naked on the road. The photographs contained the teacher's
name and address with the message "Come to my house," along with obscene
statements, police said.
Police, who were on the lookout after the teacher complained that composite
photographs had been distributed near her home since December last year,
immediately arrested the principal. Photographs similar to the ones that were
distributed were found in his vehicle.
The principal and teacher previously worked together.
The vice principal at the school in Ushimado, Okayama Prefecture, was surprised
to hear of the principal's arrest.
"He doesn't have any trouble with the teacher now. I'm shocked at the arrest,"
the vice principal said.
