Police in Kobe have arrested a 25-year-old man on suspicion of using his smartphone to film up a 16-year-old high school girl’s skirt on an escalator at JR Kobe Station.
According to police, the incident occurred at around 6:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sankei Shimbun reported. A police sergeant, who was on his way to work, became suspicious of the man's behavior and caught him red-handed.
Police said the suspect, a company employee from Himeji, Hyogo Prefecture, has admitted to the allegation and added they are examining his smartphone to see if he has taken other voyeuristic images.

I’m sure this happens a lot in Japan.
I’ve seen this type of deviant behavior and actually reported it to station staff.

I see you changed the photo. Wise decision.

Oh, by the way. You can now remove my comments since they’re no longer applicable.

Some day, perhaps on my death bed, I'll understand this behavior. What in the world is the charge these guys get out of this? 6:30 a.m. A teenage girl on her way to school becomes the victim of perversity. That's as low as it gets.

A lot of it is for the thrill of taking the photo / video themselves, along with the risk of getting caught.

After living in Japan for almost 20 years, I still don't get the obsession for this kind of behavior, nor do I want to.

They can monetize the content by uploading to porn sites.

What's with the stock photo here? lmao It's weird.

I don't have a problem with it.

Correct. Many of the upskirt photographers sell their photos.
There was a BBC documentary about it a few years ago.

I just think it's really strange to pic a stock photo of what appears to be a woman wearing a skit in a story about a man arrested for taking upskirt photos.

Cards fan,
You should have seen the previous one!
Sorry, I wasn't attacking you, just making a bit of a joke.

The photo before this one was 10 times worse! That one actually had a hand with a smartphone filming under a schoolgirl’s uniform skirt.

lol Really? That's astounding, truly. The more I look at some of the stock photos, the more they stand out.

Stock photo. Oh, okay. So, I guess there is a purpose for having “stock photos”. So, what is the purpose of having this one?

It’s totally unnecessary. I was once walking up stairs somewhere (at a train station) and was looking up where I was going and could see right up a girls skirt. It’s ridiculous how short a skirt they wear.
My ex would beat our daughters’ butt if she walked out of the house wearing such clothes.

Is it money or their obsession? Were these people forced to do for the business or they simply wanted to have fun?
The punishment for such crime should be harsh but still it won't prevent them from doing it so, example voyeurism in South Korea. You better stay away from the public toilets.

It's a dangerous hobby. One "good shot" just drives you on to get a "better shot" and so on. If you don't stop, you'll end up getting arrested. But it can be hard to quit.

Don´t really know what contortions you have to go to to get that "view"; never happened to me. Anyway, the obsession with upskirt photos is weird.
