上げ馬神事で動物虐待批判、2mの壁を撤去　地元の不安と期待【三重県】：朝日新聞デジタル

In a shocking incident, a male consular officer from the Singaporean Embassy in Japan has been accused of secretly filming male students under 18 at a public bathhouse in Tokyo. The 55-year-old officer, who identified himself as a diplomat, admitted to the act but refused to accompany the police for further questioning.

The incident took place in February, and the officer was voluntarily questioned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Police. The officer’s use of diplomatic immunity to avoid further investigation has raised concerns about the abuse of diplomatic privileges.

This case sheds light on the issue of diplomatic immunity and the challenges it poses in cases of criminal behavior by foreign officials. The officer’s actions have sparked outrage and calls for stricter regulations to prevent such abuses in the future.

The Singaporean Embassy has not issued a statement regarding the incident, and it remains to be seen how the Japanese authorities will proceed with the investigation. The case highlights the need for greater accountability and transparency in diplomatic relations to ensure the safety and security of all individuals, regardless of their status or position.
