「四谷大塚」元講師に有罪判決　女児ら盗撮「立場利用」―東京地裁

　中学受験塾大手「四谷大塚」（東京）に通う女子児童らが盗撮された事件で、性的姿態撮影処罰法違反罪などに問われた元講師森崇翔被告（２５）の判決が２６日、東京地裁であった。鎌倉正和裁判官は「立場を利用し、被害者らが無防備に学習する姿を撮影した」として、懲役２年、保護観察付き執行猶予５年（求刑懲役２年）を言い渡した。
　鎌倉裁判官は「被害者らが警戒心がないのをいいことに撮影しており、発覚しづらく性的自由を侵害する危険性が高い」と指摘。画像や個人情報の送信は「さらに他人に拡散される恐れを生じさせた」と批判した。一方で、反省の言葉を述べていることなどを考慮し、執行猶予とした。（2024/03/26-12:50）

Tokyo District Court on Tuesday sentenced a former teacher at Tokyo cram school Yotsuya Otsuka Inc. to two years in prison, suspended for five years, for secret filming of girls attending the school.
   According to the ruling, Sosho Mori, the 25-year-old former teacher, filmed underwear of 12 Yotsuya Otsuka students then aged 7-11 with his smartphone between March 2023 and August the same year at a classroom of the school, which teaches elementary school children aiming to take junior high school entrance examinations.
   He also sent some of the images to another former Yotsuya Otsuka teacher. In addition, Mori stored the children's personal data on his smartphone and posted the information on a group chat forum on social media, according to the ruling.
   Handing down the sentence, Masakazu Kamakura, a judge at the court, said that Mori did his act by "abusing his position" as a teacher of the school and "taking advantage of low vigilance among the victims." His act, which was difficult to be detected, involved "a high risk of sexual freedom being violated," the judge said.
   The transmission of the images and personal information created a risk of them spreading to other people, Kamakura also said.
