Tomoyuki Mitsui, 33, from Daisen in Akita prefecture probably figured that if he was going to go down, he may as well do it in a perverse blaze of glory.

Mitsui stood charged with trespassing after breaking into a high school.

When questioned about the trespassing, he admitted that he’d broken into the school, where according to police the school’s volleyball club were staying for a training camp, in order to molest girls.

“I sneaked into the school in order to molest girls,” Mitsui was quoted as telling investigators.

At around 2 a.m. on Sunday, Mitsui sneaked into one of the buildings of Kashiwa Municipal High School, where its female volleyball club members were sleeping, through an unlocked second-floor window, local police said.

One of the members noticed Mitsui, and alerted the club’s coach by sending an e-mail to his mobile phone. Four teachers overpowered Mitsui.

Why be considered a mere burglar when you can voluntarily have yourself put away as a sex offender…
