Suspect Did it to Relieve Stress

Torii was arrested on suspicion of attempted non-consensual sexual intercourse and violating the Act on the Punishment of Filming Sexual Activity, according to Tokyo Reporter, citing Kyodo News. 

While he denied the former accusation, he admitted to the filming, telling officers,

“I sexually harassed her to relieve stress.”

He reportedly added that the woman had used abusive language toward care workers, Japan Today reported.

Abuse Discovered During Separate Death Investigation

The case came to light during a separate police investigation into the death of another elderly resident at the same care facility.
