A rapist tracked down a Japanese singer by studying the reflection of the street in her eyes in a selfie

Ena Matsuoka, a member of the Japanese pop group Tenshi Tsukinukeni Yomi, was attacked by a sexual maniac who tracked her down after carefully studying the girl's selfie. 26-year-old Hibiki Sato enlarged the pictures of the singer in social networks and found in her eyes on one of them a reflection of the street where she lives.

21-year-old Ena Matsuoka was returning from a concert on September 1, 2019 and met Hibiki Sato near the entrance to her home. The man attacked the girl, covered her mouth with a towel and dragged her into the house. The man tried to rape Ena, but she strenuously resisted and he retreated.

As a result of a short fight, Matsuoka suffered several facial injuries, which took her about a week to recover from. Hibiki Sato was arrested in mid-September and charged on October 8. During interrogations, the man admitted that he has been a fan of the singer for a long time and does not deny the fact of the attack.

Sato said that he was able to determine the place where Matsuoka lives by studying numerous selfies of the girl in social networks. In one of the photos, the railway station and part of the street were reflected in Ena's eyes. With the help of Google Street View, the fan found this place and began to track down the girl.

While waiting for a meeting with the object of desire, Hibiki spent more than one day on the street, but eventually met Matsuoka. The girl got off the train and went to the house, and the attacker followed her.

In court, a fan of the singer said that in order to achieve his goal, he had to study a lot of pictures and even videos. On the videos taken by the girl at home, he studied the angle of incidence of light and curtains in order to accurately determine the location of the pop singer's apartment.

This time everything ended well — the girl got off with fright and abrasions, and the sex maniac will get a prison sentence. But in Japan, such attacks do not always have a successful outcome. In 2016, singer Mayu Tomita was attacked by a fan of Tomohiro Iwazaki.

The man stabbed his victim 20 times and she miraculously survived. Then the criminal was given 14 years in prison, and Tomita in 2019 filed a lawsuit for 76 million yen (about 45 million rubles) against the attacker and the Tokyo authorities. The star repeatedly contacted the police, showing threatening messages from Iwazaki, but they did not take any action.

We have already written that in Japan sexual attraction can take the most unusual forms and, unfortunately, sometimes there are dangerous deviations from the norm.
