Groping arrests: 48-year-old man in Hiroshima City, Aug. 21. 53-year-old man at a supermarket in Kure, Aug. 25. 61-year-old man at a Pachinko Parlor in Saijo, Sept. 30.

The typhoons are being closely monitored, but there is concern that an extra active seasonal rain front, after a week of constant rain, will increase the risk of disasters in western Japan. Authorities are calling on us all to be vigilant for landslides, floods, &rising river levels at the weekend.
