Hirai Yasuomi (26), was reported to police after someone discovered him lying face-up in a street gutter so that he was able to look up the skirts of women passing by.
While most people point out that what he did is certainly perverted and deserves punishment, netizens also praised his enthusiasm and ability to put his dastardly plans into action.

Put Your Efforts In Another Direction…Crawls Along For Tens Of Metres At A Depth Of 50cm
On June 5 at around 10:10am, the suspect crept into the street gutter on a road in Morikitamachi, also in Higashinada ward, and says he was peeping up the skirts of women passing by. The scene of the crime was on the road to Konan Women’s University, and the width of the street gutter there is around 35cm, with a depth of 50cm. Hirai broke in to the gutter from a sewer outlet that links with a nearby river, crawled along for tens of metres, lay on his back, and peeped through the holes in the metal drain cover.
A woman reported it after noticing that she could see someone’s eyes through the holes. When a member of the prefectural police force rushed to the scene, the man had already escaped; however, Hirai emerged as a suspect because police had previously received information that he had been acting suspiciously at a street gutter close to the scene of the crime.
