The train conductor, really!
9 year old girl? That's truly disgusting
It would be interesting to know if these men were married with families.

My thoughts too.

He'll get a slap on the wrist and be moved to another prefecture to do the same job. He won't need to sign any kind of predator list or be registered as some kind of sicko.
Let's get strict, this is disgusting.

Why do they call it: Filming?
"To capture on film as part of a series of moving images..."

Isn't he old enough to have a daughter her age? I don't get the attraction, but I guess I don't get a lot of things.

High quality JR west Japan staff showing their respect to the community at large…

Totally disgusting. These men are sick. Time to lock them up.
Fighto!
This evil scum needs to be locked away for several years - and his address needs to be published freely online so as parents living in the vicinity can take precautions.

These people often profit by making these videos available online.

It is highly likely that his interests do not stop at secretly filming little girls underwear. The police should be checking his hard drives and personal history.

Spring and Summer is when all the CREEPS come out of their caves and cages.

These disgusting behaviour will keep happening unless the culture of child sexualisation changes. In children animations and games, characters are often too exposing. When children grows up within these environment, they develop sexual abnormalities.

This is disgusting behaviour, obviously. But whatever the age of the person, it is disgusting. It is a sexual assault.

I don't even know what to say! I don't know what I'd do if I ever saw a creepo being inappropriate with or towards a kid. I know I wouldn't be able to stop myself from allowing them to continue!

I remember I was in Saigon in a market with my ex. And I saw an old American guy taking inappropriate pictures of a little girl no older than 4 years. Her mother was unpacking some stuff to sell and this creepo had a big professional zoom lens camere. This kid sat like most kids do while blissfully unaware of their surroundings when lost in a smartphone. She sat with her legs up on the chair and this creepo was taking pictures of her like that. (I don't wanna go into details) I went up to him and asked him "Why are you taking pictures of her underwear like that?" He said he gave her money some money and she said it was ok! I saw red and called him out and he got mad at me and started cussing and calling me names when I said I'll take his picture and go to the police! I explained to the mother what he was doing and she took her daughter to another part of the market. Themother came back and gave me a beautiful red T-shirt and thanked me! I can't stand a sicko peadophile!
