シンガポール外交官が盗撮か　出頭要請の方針―警視庁

　在日シンガポール大使館の男性元参事官（５５）が、東京都内の銭湯で盗撮をしたとして、警視庁に任意で事情聴取されていたことが２日、捜査関係者への取材で分かった。同庁は性的姿態撮影処罰法違反容疑などで捜査しており、元参事官に出頭要請する方針。
　捜査関係者によると、元参事官は在任中の２月、港区にある銭湯の脱衣所で、１０代男子生徒の裸を撮影した疑いが持たれている。
　銭湯側の通報で駆け付けた警察官が、脱衣所などで元参事官が撮影したとみられる複数の画像を確認。元参事官は撮影を認め、その場でスマートフォン内にあった画像約７００枚を削除したが、警察署への任意同行には応じなかった。
　元参事官はその後、外交官の職を解かれたが、出国するまでは外交官としての不逮捕特権がある。警視庁は、出頭要請に向け、外務省や警察庁と協議を進めている。（2024/05/02-12:52）

A former Singaporean diplomat has been questioned on a voluntary basis by Tokyo police over allegations that he secretly photographed a naked boy in his 10s at a public bath in February, it was learned Thursday.
   The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the case for possible violation of the law against taking sexual images and plans to ask the 55-year-old former counselor at the Singapore Embassy to turn himself in.
   According to investigative sources, the then diplomat is suspected of taking photos of the boy in the dressing room of a public bath in Tokyo's Minato Ward.
   Following a report from the public bath, police officers rushed to the scene and found images apparently taken by the diplomat. He admitted photographing the boy and deleted about 700 images from his smartphone, but refused to go to a police station.
   The diplomat was later dismissed, but he still has diplomatic immunity from arrest until he leaves Japan. The MPD is consulting with the Foreign Ministry and the National Police Agency to ask him to turn himself in.
