Stupid!! Mirror Man

Stupid! what's the matter with him? If I were you, I would never try to do that in order not to lose an excellent job, a policy-analytic economist, who I would like to be. Here is the excerpt:

'Mirror Man' professor sacked over latest molestation allegations

NAGOYA -- The graduate school of Nagoya University of Commerce and Business has dismissed economics professor Kazuhide Uekusa after he was arrested for molesting a high school girl on a train, officials of the institution said Wednesday. Uekusa lectured on the national economic strategy as a visiting professor at the graduate school from April this year until July.

"We will make every effort to recover honor and trust in us," a spokesman from the university commented after announcing the dismissal of Uekusa, 45. Uekusa, from Tokyo, was arrested for molesting the girl earlier this month. In 2004, Uekusa was arrested for trying to look up the skirt of a high school girl at JR Shinagawa Station by using a hand mirror.

Famous economist Kazuhide Uekusa, now a visiting professor at a university, has been arrested for molesting a high school girl on a train, police said. Uekusa, 45, a visiting professor at the graduate school of Nagoya University of Commerce and Business, molested the 17-year-old girl on a Keihin Kyuko Line train. ......Uekusa's alleged actions came to light after the girl reportedly screamed, "Stop it." He was drunk at the time of the purported incident. "I don't remember what happened," Uekusa was quoted as saying.

Earlier in April 2004 when he was a graduate school professor at Waseda University, Uekusa was arrested for trying to look up the skirt of a high school girl at JR Shinagawa Station by using a hand mirror. He was indicted for the 2004 incident and fined 500,000 yen. He didn't appeal the ruling on the 2004 case, but has since insisted he was not guilty.
