Man arrested for stalking woman, posting slanderous comments and secretly filmed images online
Chiba Prefectural Police have arrested a 24-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of violating the Stalking Prevention Act by posting multiple slanderous comments about a former colleague, a woman in her 20s, on a social networking site.
According to police, Mizuki Hara, who lives in Narita City, Chiba Prefecture, is accused of posting the comments and images of the woman at work on social media between December 7, 2024 and April 11 this year, Sankei Shimbun reported.
In late March, the woman consulted the police, saying, "I was receiving messages saying 'You're cute' and obscene images from multiple email addresses that I don't recognize."
Hara posted defamatory comments against the woman six times in total, but did not send any emails. It is believed that another man who saw Hara's posts sent multiple emails to the woman, and police are also questioning him.
