The suspect denied the charge, saying that he "was only trying to pass through."


"I was just walking home, honorable judge, when this cottage suddenly appeared in front of me, so I tried to take a shortcut. Honest."

Yeah I was wondering what the heck kinda excuse the suspect was trying to come up with to try to denied his crime, it's just like the Japanese swimmer who got caught stealing a journalist's camera denying his crimes, despite surveillance camera caught him doing it.

Sure are a lot of reports of Japanese folks getting busted for doing illegal stuff related to anime and manga lately.

It's nice to see the police in Japan catching real criminals and not anime uploaders and ero artists.

I think it's most common with piracy/copyright infringement.
