According to Japanese tabloid Spa! a student was previously busted by a teacher for taking some rather opportunistic upskirt photos of Japanese school girls. When the teacher confiscated the student’s Nintendo DSi he was apparently shocked to see how many female students he had snapped, and was even more shocked to see the student’s penis.
“I discovered a young man using the DS camera to peep on girls at school,” said a 43-year-old male teacher. The teacher apparently confiscated the male student’s DS (the original quote said “DS” and not “DSi”). “Saved on the DS, there were upskirt photos as well as photos of the student’s own penis. The entire staff was sickened by what we found.”
