OK, big shot, do you have an alibi? Is it true that you moonlight for the Post?

Washington Post journalist pinched for groping

A respected Washington Post journalist has been arrested for groping an 18-year-old girl on a Tokyo subway train, it was revealed Monday.

The newsman, Shigehiko Togo, has reportedly admitted to molesting the high school girl sitting next to him on Nov. 13.

"She was so cute," the 56-year-old, of Tokyo's posh Minami Azabu district, was quoted by police as saying.

A Washington Post spokesperson said they are in no position to comment on the conduct of an individual employee.

Police said Togo covered a part of the girl's thigh with his overcoat and felt her up for about a minute on the Chiyoda Line train at around 4:30 p.m.

The reporter was arrested at Hibiya Station after the girl grabbed him and handed him over to station officials.

Togo began his journalistic career with Asahi Shimbun before joining the Washington Post in 1976. He reportedly scooped the engagement of Crown Prince Naruhito and Princess Masako.

Togo hails from a prominent family. His grandfather Shigenori served as foreign minister while his father Fumihiko had a spell as an ambassador to the United States. (Mainichi Shimbun, Nov. 26, 2001)
