In Japan, a woman in her 60s was caught by the police while secretly filming the inside of a women’s bathhouse. She stated that the woman committed the offense at the behest of her son, who was in her 30s.
According to Japanese media such as the Yomiuri Shimbun on the 24th, the Moriyama Metropolitan Police Department (police) in Aichi Prefecture charged Mr. A (female, 63) and Mr. B (male, 37) with secretly filming the inside of a women’s bathhouse in a nuisance prevention ordinance.

He put a camera in a bath basket, filled it with bath products, disguised himself, and secretly filmed the inside of the facility and the women’s nudity.
On December 30 last year, another user who was suspicious of Mr. A who went to and from the bathtub with a bath basket informed the staff. Afterwards, two bathroom attendants searched Mr. A’s basket and found a small camera. The police were unable to confirm the contents of Mr. A’s camera at the scene, so they first applied the charge of building trespass and arrested him.
During the police investigation, Mr. A admitted to the charge of illegal filming, but stated, “I committed the crime at the request of my son to ‘take a picture of the inside of the women’s bath’.” “My son became a hikikomori (reclusive loner) 20 years ago,” he said.
