Sapporo man arrested for attempting to film woman, 70, in supermarket toilet

HOKKAIDO (TR) – Police in Sapporo City have arrested a 34-year-old unemployed man for allegedly trespassing into a women’s restroom to secretly film an elderly woman, reports STV News Hokkaido (Sep. 27).

The suspect, a resident of Atsubetsu Ward, is accused of entering the women’s restroom of a supermarket in Shiroishi Ward at around 7:30 a.m. on August 25. According to the Sapporo Atsubetsu Police Station, the man hid inside a stall and waited for a woman to enter the adjacent space.

When a woman in her 70s entered, the suspect slid his smartphone through the gap between the stalls in an attempt to take tosatsu (voyeur) footage of her lower body. However, the resulting video failed to capture a clear image of the victim.

The man’s crimes came to light weeks later after a bizarre incident on September 11. Police were called to a convenience store in Atsubetsu Ward after receiving reports of a man locking himself inside the restroom and refusing to come out.

Responding officers questioned the man and examined his smartphone, which led to the discovery of the failed voyeurism video from the August supermarket incident. He was officially arrested on September 27 for trespassing and attempted voyeurism.

Upon his arrest, the suspect admitted to the allegations. “I have no excuses to make,” he told investigators. “I am filled with regret.”

Police are continuing their investigation and analyzing the suspect’s phone to determine if he is responsible for other similar crimes.

北海道（TR）——据STV北海道新闻（9月27日）报道，札幌市警方逮捕了一名34岁的无业男子，该男子涉嫌擅闯女厕所，偷拍一名老年妇女。

嫌疑人是厚别区的居民，他被指控于8月25日早上7点30分左右进入白石区一家超市的女厕。据札幌厚别警察署称，该男子藏身于一个隔间内，等待一名女子进入隔壁的隔间。

一名七十多岁的老妇进入厕所后，嫌疑人将智能手机伸入隔间缝隙，试图偷拍她的下半身。然而，拍摄到的视频未能清晰捕捉到受害者的影像。

几周后，9 月 11 日发生的一起离奇事件让这名男子的罪行曝光。警方接到报案称，一名男子将自己锁在厚别区一家便利店的洗手间里，拒绝出来。

接警后，警员对该男子进行了盘问并检查了他的智能手机，由此发现了8月份超市偷拍未遂的视频。他于9月27日因非法侵入和企图偷窥被正式逮捕。

嫌疑人被捕后承认了指控。“我没有任何借口，”他告诉调查人员，“我充满悔意。”

警方正在继续调查，并分析嫌疑人的手机，以确定他是否还犯有其他类似罪行。
