A 33-year-old male teacher from Yao City, Osaka, was arrested by police on charges of violating child pornography laws after he allegedly filmed boys changing clothes in the school where he was employed. The Osaka Prefectural Police arrested him on the 13th, revealing that the teacher admitted to the accusations, stating that he filmed boys that he found 'attractive.' According to police reports, the teacher filmed a total of six boys at his school during July 2023 and June 2024, capturing the incidents with a tablet in the classroom during their changing periods.

This incident came to light earlier in the year when the teacher was caught filming naked men in a commercial facility's changing room in Osaka’s Namba district on January 3. He was apprehended in the act after a witness reported the incident. Subsequent investigations into his connections revealed a disturbing pattern of behavior, showing that he had recorded videos during at least three instances at his workplace, leading to his re-arrest on January 24 when additional footage was found on his devices. The teacher confessed to having engaged in this behavior for around one and a half to two years, stating that he had committed such acts in various locations, implicating that on at least twenty occasions he had recorded minors at the school itself.

Due to concerns for the victims involved, the article does not disclose the suspect's identity. This troubling case raises significant issues regarding child safety in educational environments and the need for stricter measures to prevent such predatory behaviors from instructors tasked with the care and education of children.
