Teacher pinched for fondling school girl's bottom on train

Hideshige Miyazawa, 48, a teacher at Otsuma Junior High and High School in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, stands accused of violating a Tokyo metropolitan ordinance prohibiting people from creating a nuisance. He admitted to the allegations.

Miyazawa fondled the buttocks of the 16-year-old victim on a train on the Tokyu Railway Denen-Toshi Line for about 10 minutes Tuesday evening, local police said.

The girl managed to overpower him and forced him to get off at a station. Miyazawa attempted to escape but other passengers captured him on the platform. He was on his way home at the time of the incident.
