Now we know why the PSP is selling so well in Japan. It's all because the PSP can double as a gaming device and a cleverly disguised covert camera for train perverts. Just like what happened in this shameful story of a 59-year old Nagoya technical college deputy head, who allegedly took some upskirt shots of a 19-year old female.
The incident happened on the Nagoya Kintetsu train line. The local TV news constructed the images seen above which retell how the crime went down. As for the fate of the old dirty man, he's been arrested under Japan's anti-stalking laws. The PSP has probably been confiscated.

I still don't understand how that was possible. The image does not help at all. Did he have a mirror or something?

Haisook... I couldnt figure it out at first either. I think the camera is pointed straight ahead though, so when its laid down flat it is looking into the lap across the aisle.

Go Japan! I love that the guy was arrested and that they have anti-stalking laws with teeth. People get away with too much in the U.S., and I've seen police unable to do something about situations far worse in regard to a stalker.
Sad that an innocent PSP was involved, too. I can just see the media pouncing on this and convincing more parents that "video gaming is evil."

I'm sure you would not be asking that if someone did somthing like that to your sister or mom. Just food for thought.

You know what would be a hilarious twist to this story? If the girl had a penis. That wouldn't only make him a pervert, but a gay pervert.

Japan has vending machines that sell used schoolgirl panties, why not a vending machine that sells pictures of them wearing em?

DUDE.. the image is showing that .. the seats are a perfect height... that would be as if he were laying down.. he would be able to see right up a skirt... its a perverted trick.. he could just look at the image right on the side of him and make sure it's what he wants.... I still can't believe that someone would do that crap
Aside from all that.. I bought the psp camera.. IT'S AWESOME

Well.. Japanese girls wear excessively short skirts all the time. So something like that must happen every now and then.

Is too hard to arrest someone just for see a skirt!! and in a country that nearly promote kinky stuffs. I bet that will boost sales in USA. But anyway how he did that?? uhm.

Not sure I see the problem here. From the photos it looks like he didn't really have to go out of his way to get the upskirt shots. So she must have been sitting such that he could see the panties anyway. If he could see them anyway, then they were in public. If they were in public, then what is wrong with taking a picture of them?
Also she was 19, so not even a minor. I admit that the guy is a bit creepy, but its not like he worked out a complicated system of mirrors or something.
Secondly, its panties. What exactly is the difference between taking a pic of that or going down to the beach and taking a pic of the girls in bikinis? Both are fair game in my eyes, because they are in full public view.
