Hyogo prefecture police this month announced the arrest of three young boys aged between 14 and 17 on suspicion of forcing a girl to dress up as Santa and walk around town.
The bizarre crime in Himeji City has already been acknowledged by the arrested trio.
“Our jokes went too far,” they said.
The four were apparently a group of friends who used to hang out together. They bought a revealing (and no doubt cold) Santa costume showing the shoulders and legs from a local store, and made the high schoolgirl dress up in it and parade around for three hours in the chilly afternoon of late November.
Well, if you’re going to do something like that, lads, find someone you don’t know she can’t report you to the cops.
Then choose a better time — you weren’t even in the right month for such Christmas antics!
