The case came to light last November following a tip-off
Investigators said images believed to show other girls were also found, and they are looking into the possibility of additional victims.The girl’s mother was quoted as telling police, “I only found out when I was questioned
I believe he committed the acts knowing my daughter has a disability and thinking he wouldn’t be caught no matter what he did
I’ll never forgive him.”Translated by The Japan Times
