Overview
- Osaka police on June 10 filed documents with prosecutors asking for a prosecution opinion after investigating a 26-year-old former trainee doctor accused of secretly filming a woman about to give birth.
- Authorities say the incident occurred in August 2025 when the trainee attended an emergency Caesarean section and used a watch‑type tiny camera to record a patient before the operation, a charge the suspect has reportedly admitted while saying it was for study.
- The same man was arrested in February 2026 at a commercial facility in Osaka for trying to film under a high school girl's skirt and was released while voluntary searches continued that recovered three small cameras and video files.
- Investigators report the suspect told them he had filmed more than 100 people but police have confirmed only the one hospital video so far, leaving the full scope and the link between seized material and alleged victims under further review.
- The suspect left the hospital when his training term ended in March and the hospital has pledged to check the facts and strengthen staff ethics; the prosecutor will now decide whether to indict based on the police files and seized evidence.
