“Between late March 2014 and June 19, 2014 at around 1:10 p.m., Koza allegedly trespassed into the girls’ dressing room at the school, placed a digital video camera, and secretly took recordings. According to the board of education in Kami, a female fifth-year student at the school found a suspicious black paper box inside the girls’ locker room on June 19, 2014. The box had a hole and a digital camera positioned inside.

Japan’s Minor Offenses Act, originally passed in 1948, covers a variety of minor criminal offenses. The act includes articles related to trespassing and voyeurism.

The Kami school or board of education filed a criminal complaint to police in Kami on July 14, 2014. Koza reportedly stated at a staff meeting at the school that the camera was his, but he had lost it about one month prior.

Koza, a U.S. citizen who was 26 at the time of his arrest in Japan, reportedly became an assistant language teacher (ALT) at the school in August 2009. Koza’s LinkedIn profile states that he was an ALT on the Japan Exchange and Teaching Program at an unspecified elementary school in Japan from August 2009 to July 2014.

The Sankei Shimbun reported on October 2, 2014 that Kami police filed charges against the school’s principal and vice principal on October 1 of that year under suspicion of concealing evidence. After the camera was discovered on June 19, 2014, the school’s principal and vice principal reportedly hid it inside the school until July 14, the day a criminal complaint was filed. The principal and vice principal reportedly admitted to the charges and said that they were trying to protect themselves.”
