Kyoto officers referred to prosecutors over secret filming allegations
Kyoto Prefectural Police Headquarters have sent papers to prosecutors on two officers who are suspected of secretly filming in women's restrooms. Police allege a male officer in his 20s installed a small camera inside a stall of a women's restroom at Nakagyo Police Station, where he worked, in February and March. He is also suspected of secretly filming women at train stations and on trains. About 120 videos, which were believed to have been taken without permission, were found on his camera and other devices. A male officer in his 40s is also suspected of setting up a smartphone in a women's restroom at his workplace, Shimogamo Police Station, in February and April. About 70 voyeuristic videos were stored on his smartphone. Both men have reportedly admitted to the allegations. The police headquarters suspended the officers for three months, but they have since resigned. The younger officer told investigators that he began secretly filming people when he was in high school. He said that, despite being a police officer, he had done something irreparable. The other officer reportedly said that he is sorry to the victims and the people of Kyoto. A chief inspector at the police headquarters apologized and vowed to take measures to prevent a recurrence and restore public trust.

In a separate case, a male officer in his 40s is suspected of setting up a camera-equipped smartphone in a women's restroom at Shimogamo Police Station from the beginning of this year through April. The officer works at the station. Both men have reportedly admitted to the allegations. The Kyoto Prefectural Police plan to send their documents to prosecutors as early as Thursday.
