Japan: Top cop gives reporter wrong sort of hot tip

A police officer once penciled in for prominence in crime fighting now seems to have placed himself on the wrong side of the law enforcement business after copping a feel of a young female reporter chasing a hot story, according to Shukan Shincho.

The 38-year-old assistant superintendent from the Nagasaki Prefectural Police is accused of ordering the young TV journalist to sit on his lap and let him feel her up in exchange for a tip-off that could give her a huge scoop.
