The incident initially occurred in February when a 46-year-old suspect exposed himself in a shopping mall. Due to an oversight in identifying the suspect captured on CCTV, a wrong man was detained but later found to have an alibi, resulting in his release after approximately nine hours. The real suspect has now been charged, prompting Fukuoka Police to issue an apology and promise improvements in their investigative processes. <\/span><b>Source: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20240418\/5010024081.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NHK<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-162374\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_news-police_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=1400%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Fukuoka Police Apologize for Wrongful Arrest in Indecent Exposure Case\" width=\"1400\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_news-police_2024_WEB.jpg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_news-police_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=300%2C171&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_news-police_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=1024%2C585&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/fnn_news-police_2024_WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C439&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Disclaimer: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is an AI-generated image used solely for illustrative purposes to enhance understanding of the news story.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
