A man arrested on suspicion of stalking a female pop idol used the reflections of her pupils in photos she shared on social media and Google Street View to find where she lived.
Tokyo police declined comment on the specifics of the investigation but confirmed Friday that 26-year-old Hibiki Sato was arrested Sept. 17 on suspicion of indecent behavior in connection with stalking and causing injuries to the 20-year-old woman.
The police official, who spoke on condition of anonymity as is often policy at Japanese bureaucracies, said the case was related to the reports about a stalker and pupil images.
Police described Sato as an “avid fan.”
Public broadcaster NHK and other Japanese media reported this week that details in the woman’s selfies were used to identify the train station she frequented. They said Sato looked at other images she shared, such as her apartment, to figure out where she lived.
Police say he hurt her and committed indecent acts, such as groping her after accosting her from behind and knocking her down. ...
Tokyo Shimbun, a metropolitan daily, which reported on the stalking case, warned readers even casual selfies may show surrounding buildings that will allow people to identify the location of the photos.
It also said people shouldn’t make the V-sign with their hand, which Japanese often do in photos, because fingerprints could be stolen.
Cyberstalking has been a problem for years, with criminals and perpetrators of domestic violence using hacking, clandestine activation of microphones and cameras and other methods to track their victims.
It’s unclear how prevalent the use of high-resolution photos to locate potential victims might be.
Profligate posting of personal images and data on the 'Net, combined with increasingly sophisticated app capabilities, make it easier for stalkers / cyberstalkers to locate their targets.

Cyberstalking: tackling the 'faceless cowards'
Cyberstalking is a growing problem, but until now has not been recognised as a serious crime. Helen Pidd reports on the battle against the hidden menace online
The Guardian, Friday 24 September 2010 Article history
It was a moment Roland Reed had long dreaded. "Just Googled you, dad," began the text from his daughter. "Why are all these people saying horrible things about you online?" Reed stepped out of work, took a deep breath and dialled his daughter's number. As calmly as he could, he explained that he wasn't really a child abuser, but that someone on the internet had it in for him. A cyberstalker had chosen Reed as his victim, apparently at random. "I told her, 'It's just some nutter, ignore it,'" he says.
But Reed himself couldn't. Every night he logged on to the internet to see what his stalker had been doing to destroy his reputation that day. The allegations were spreading insidiously on internet forums, and he was powerless to stop them. Even if he did have time to contact each site moderator – where one existed – there was no point, he believed. His stalker, posting from behind an untraceable proxy server, would just create a new identity and spring up elsewhere. Plus, he didn't want this belligerent stranger to know that he cared. It would just feed their lust for attention and destruction.
Being accused of paedophilia is damaging for anyone, but for Reed, a 42-year-old youth worker, it was catastrophic. He had already warned his boss that someone had started a smear campaign against him, calling him a child molester on various message boards, and then adopting multiple personas to pile on to these forums and give the impression that lots of people agreed. Luckily, Reed's boss believed him. But what about anyone else who was bored enough to enter his name into a search engine? "Any time a work colleague gives me a strange look, I think, has he found this stuff about me on the internet?" says Reed, who is still being targeted to this day.
Or, as in Reed's case, the creation of an online smear campaign to blacken a victim's name.
I think a lot of us look back on some of the things we did when we were younger and shudder, AgProv. I wasn't always the sane and sensible representation of humanity you now see in front of you...
Cyberstalker gets 4 years in prison for ‘war’ on woman
Less than two months after their office romance ended, Ahmad Kazzelbach began tampering with the email and social media accounts of the Baltimore woman who broke up with him. He changed her Instagram username to include the word “whore.”
That was only the start of a vicious cyberstalking campaign that would escalate steadily over the next year. Before FBI agents arrested her ex-boyfriend, the woman was wrongfully arrested twice and spent four nights in jail based on a string of false police reports that he made.
Kazzelbach, 27, of Pasadena, Maryland, was sentenced on Monday to four years in prison for his online harassment of the woman, who is identified by her initials “J.K.” in court records. ...
This is mad.
Amanda was terrorised by a stalker for two years.
Then she learned her husband was to blame.
In December 2015, Amanda Playle – a mum of three girls from East Sussex – received a Facebook friend request from a man named Anthony Reynolds, a man she had once dated in high school.
The two began talking, but when Anthony suggested they meet up for a drink, Amanda decided to cease all contact with her ex.
Two weeks later, Anthony got back in touch with Amanda, and his messages had become more sinister, branding her a cheater and telling her she was unfit to be a mother.
“It was really vile,” Amanda told ITV’s This Morning.
Despite unfriending Anthony, he was still able to contact her through her friends’ pages. And every time she deactivated her Facebook account, it was somehow always re-activated and Anthony was able to message her once again.
Continued to the bonkers conclusion:

eBay workers who sent spiders to couple to plead guilty
Four former eBay Inc. employees have agreed to plead guilty to their roles in a campaign of intimidation that included sending live spiders and cockroaches to the home of a Massachusetts couple who ran an online newsletter critical of the auction site, federal prosecutors said Wednesday. ...
They are among seven former eBay employees charged in the case, in which the Massachusetts couple had other disturbing items sent to their home, including a funeral wreath and a bloody pig Halloween mask.
They are all charged with conspiracy to commit cyberstalking and conspiracy to tamper with a witness. Their lawyers either declined to comment or didn’t immediately return emails seeking comment Wednesday.
The employees also sent pornographic magazines with the husband’s name on them to their neighbor’s house, planned to break into the couple’s garage to install a GPS device on their car, and posted the couple’s names and address online, advertising things like yard sales and encouraging strangers to knock on the door if the pair wasn’t outside, officials said.
The suspects engaged in a “systematic campaign fueled by the resources of a Fortune 500 company to emotionally and psychologically terrorize this middle-aged couple in Natick,” U.S. Attorney Andrew Lelling said at a news conference when charges were announced in June. ...
Basically, I want to still be able to enjoy Say Anything.
John Cusack is too mild-mannered,
Until they get to the revenge stage, that's how they self identify.
It's just that I never see Say Anything mentioned in stalker cases in the news!
Take the win while it's there Sounds like a result to me!
