2 teachers arrested over alleged indecent sexual acts

One elementary school teacher from Aichi Prefecture was fired Tuesday for allegedly forcing indecent acts on students and another from the same central Japan area was effectively forced to quit his job for sending child pornography.

Toshihiro Ota, 30, was indicted on a charge of forcibly committing indecent acts on two girls at an elementary school in Chita, Aichi, around May, while Koji Uda, a 37-year-old teacher at an elementary school in Nagoya, persuaded two young girls to send him nude photos.

Ota had been arrested in 2013 for allegedly sending child pornography online while working at an elementary school in Saitama Prefecture, but later managed to be hired by the Chita board of education after changing his legal name in the family registry.

In addition to the indecent acts against the two girls, allegedly committed inside a school bathroom, he was served a fresh arrest warrant on Monday for a suspected indecent act against another. He had been working at the school as a temporary teacher before he was fired on Tuesday.
