AICHI (TR) – Aichi Prefectural Police arrested a town councillor from a nearby prefecture after he allegedly exposed himself to a female customer in a coffee shop in Ama City last week, reports NHK (Feb. 26).
At around 9:30 a.m. on February 25, Kazutoshi Kitagawa, 65, allegedly unzipped his pants and revealed his lower body to the 69-year-old woman while he was seated in a chair in the kissaten coffee shop.
Upon his arrest on suspicion of violating a prefectural public nuisance ordinance, Kitagawa admitted to the allegations, the Tsushima Police Station said.
“After opening a magazine and seeing a naked woman, I became excited,” he told police.
Kitagawa is a councillor for the town of Toyosato, Shiga Prefecture. During questioning, he said that he visited Ama City for a work-related matter connected to his role as the director of a construction company.
