In Saitama Prefecture , Japan, a 26-year-old unemployed man, identified as Naoki Kemuyama, was arrested last month on charges of sexually assaulting a woman on a street in the city of Konosu. In addition, he has been arrested on suspicion of mistreating another woman in the city of Saitama while he himself was dressed as a woman.
According to the police authorities, the incident occurred on the night of June 19 when a woman was heading home on a bicycle. The suspect, Naoki Kemuyama, allegedly indecently assaulted the victim. Later, on another day, Kemuyama was arrested again on suspicion of mistreating a woman on a street in the city of Saitama, where he is accused of taking her underwear while he himself was dressed as a woman.
Investigations revealed that the suspect was driving through the area in his car looking for possible victims. During the interrogations, Kemuyama confessed that she dressed as a woman because it turned her on more.
This incident has generated a debate in Japanese commentary forums, especially those related to otaku culture, where terms such as "traps" or "rags" are used to refer to men who dress as women. Some comments express criticism of the crossdresser community, arguing that the current ideology defends that a man dressed as a woman "has the right" to enter exclusive venues for women, which, according to these opinions, becomes something dangerous.
The authorities continue to investigate the facts to determine if there are more victims related to the suspect. In addition, this incident is expected to spark a broader debate on the limits and safety considerations in relation to the inclusion of people dressed as another gender in spaces specifically intended for the female gender.
Police have urged the community to remain calm and report any suspicious behavior or crime, regardless of the appearance of the people involved. Furthermore, it is emphasized that delinquency and inappropriate behavior should not be attributed to the crossdresser community as a whole, as these acts are carried out by specific individuals and do not represent the practices of an entire community.
