The 34-year-old supervisor was found to have entered a female-only area without justification, repeatedly held unauthorized meetings with female students, and in September 2020, hugged one of the female students without her consent. The incident came to light when the student reported it to the police last September. The supervisor admitted to the actions, claiming he intended to comfort the student. The prefecture apologized publicly for the misconduct. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.nhk.or.jp\/fukuoka-news\/20240618\/5010024635.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">NHK<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Male Supervisor Suspended for Sexual Harassment at Fukuoka Training Institution\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-163874\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fnn_fukuoka-prefectural-office_2024_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &#038; Kyushu news and events in English.
