Scum bag. A real gentleman would have tried to protect the young lady and paid for a taxi to get her home.

I am so fed up of hearing this stupid excuse! Well if you don't remember, the witness surely will!

What a disgusting low life thing to do? I remember I was coming homefrom a night club in NY and I was waiting for a train and there was one ABSOLUTE PLASTERED MASHED UP drunk girl sitting on the floor on the other platform from me around 3:20am. There was a group of 3 guys I noticed "inching closer and closer" to her. I ran downstairs and up on to her platform and went over to her and I said "Oh my gawd! Sandy! What're you doing here at this hour? We have work tomorrow! Alright! Let's get you home!" I looked around and the guys were slipping away on their phones! I got her on her train, asked where does dhe live, helped her get home to her place and her brother/boyfriend/husband/roomie answered and he thanked me for getting her home safe! I had NEVER met that woman in my life before, but knew she needed help.

...quoted him as saying he can’t remember what did.

Does he remember that he is (soon to be "was") a junior high school teacher?

and paid for a taxi to get her home.

no one is paying for some strange person’s taxi to get home.

An opportunist creep. And, he’s a junior high school teacher. This creep should be barred from ever having contact with kids again. A national sex offenders’s list is long overdue in Japan. Unfortunately, it would be a very extensive list.

Good on the witness for calling the police .... Many people in Japan wouldn't do that .... He/she probably stopped that girl from being raped.

When I saw the Rolling Stones in 2015, at the end of the show on the university lawnh there was this young lady so stoned (no pun intended here) she could not comprehend where she was or anything. A couple of morons were recording this 'drama' on their cellphones but me and another guy stood by and were going to step if those 2 guys did anything 'funny' towards her. An ambulance came and she was giggling wildly on the gurney, had to be strapped down.

People who take advantage of others when they're 'down' like this are dirtbags and rubbish. And may I recall the story Jesus said about the Good Samaritan?
