A man who did not respond after his release. Re-arrested on the same charges. Tokyo Prosecutor's Office August 7, 21:11
In April, a man who was arrested on the suspicion of touching a woman's body in the JR Yamanote Line and then released was arrested again on the 7th by the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office for the same charges. Before the man was released, he had submitted a pledge to the court that he would respond if there was a request for appearance, but since then he did not respond to the call at all, the suspect who was released once had the same charges. It is unusual to be arrested again.
According to the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office, a 43-year-old office worker who lives in Chiba Prefecture was arrested for alleged violation of the Tokyo Metropolitan Annoying Ordinance for allegedly touching a woman's body in the JR Yamanote line. It was.

The Tokyo District Prosecution continued to investigate at home, but the man did not respond to requests for interviews multiple times, and he said that he could run away or destroy evidence. Arrested and prosecuted.
It is unusual for a suspect who has not been detained in court and released once to be arrested again for the same charge.
