Ever wondered whether Japanese high school girls actually wear shorts under their skirts? Apparently a male teacher in Osaka was too curious and decided to find out for himself.

The 43-year-old male teacher has been found guilty of sexually harassing an 18-year-old schoolgirl and had already resigned from his post at an Osaka prefecture public high school.

“I’d heard that many students were wearing shorts under their skirts and I wanted to check for myself,” the teacher said.

Board officials said the teacher was sitting down next to the schoolgirl during a private lesson on Oct. 29 when he suddenly lifted up her skirt. On Oct. 31, he raised a schoolgirl’s skirt and fondled her buttocks when he was supposed to be giving a private lesson. Parents of one of the schoolgirls later discovered what had happened and alerted school authorities.

I guess the teacher is an excellent example of when curiosity kills the pawing cat. (0_0)=3
