Nagasaki Man Arrested for Alleged Sexual Assaults in Elevators
A 24-year-old man named Tsubasa Tatsuno has been arrested in Nagasaki, Japan, on suspicion of sexually assaulting multiple young girls in elevators. The incidents reportedly took place in the same area, with at least two cases confirmed so far [1].
The first incident occurred on February 28, at around 5 p.m., but the location of the apartment building where it took place was not specified in the report. Tatsuno, who was unemployed at the time, allegedly assaulted a young girl he did not know in an elevator [2].
A second incident was reported in April, and the second alleged assault also occurred in an elevator at another apartment building, again in the same area. The location of this building was also not specified in the report. The second girl who was allegedly assaulted did not know Tatsuno [3].
Tatsuna was arrested for the first time in connection with the February incident, but he reportedly admitted to the allegation during questioning about his second arrest in late July [4]. The details of the assault and any charges filed against Tatsuno were not provided in the article.
The report of the second incident was made by NTV news, while the report of the second arrest was not made by NTV [5]. Tatsuna was arrested a second time in late July, and there is no information indicating more than these cases or additional charges publicly available as of the latest reports.
It is important to note that Tatsuna has not been convicted of any crime, and he is presumed innocent until proven guilty. The article does not mention any legal representation for Tatsuno.
