Nepalese man arrested for licking school girl: ‘I don't understand Japanese'
FUKUOKA (TR) – Fukuoka Prefectural Police on Tuesday arrested a Nepalese man claiming to be a chef for allegedly groping a high school girl at a railway station in Chikugo City, reports Fuji News Network (July 30).
At around 7:50 p.m., Bhusar Om Prokas, 37, allegedly licked the thigh of the girl as she sat on a bench on the platform of JR Chikugo-Funagoya Station while waiting for a train.
Upon his arrest on suspicion of indecent assault without consent, the suspect denied the allegations. 'I don't understand Japanese,' he said.
After the incident, the victim moved away from the suspect and called her mother. Her mother then alerted police, saying that her daughter had been licked on the thigh on the station platform by an unknown man.
When she boarded the train, the suspect attempted to sit next to her. She then fled to another car and contacted her mother again, who then updated the police.
After receiving a tip, police officers went ahead to JR Kurume Station and waited for the train with the girl and the suspect to arrive. Upon arrival, they found the suspect and arrested him on the spot.
Police will examine security camera footage shot on the station platform to learn the circumstances surrounding the incident.
