ONE OK ROCK's Alex arrested
Talk about bad timing. This blows major. Trying to edit this as I get more details.
ONE OK ROCK guitarist Alex has been arrested for frotteurism or groping. Okay, so it seems around 8am yesterday he was riding the Tokyu Den-en-toshi train through Kawasaki, Kanagawa when he was suspected of touching a 21 year old woman. Having violated Kanagawa's public disturbance law, he was arrested.
According to reports, Alex was sitting next to the girl when he touched her thigh. The girl went to find help and there just so happened to be a police officer who was on his way to work. He arrested Alex at the Miyamaedaira Station. It was also reported Alex had been drinking and was on his way home and that he said, "she was my type so I stupidly made a move on her."
Dude...
As of April 7th, ONE OK ROCK's nation-wide tour is canceled as is the sale of their upcoming single "Around the World Shounen."
[edit] The song will not be used as the theme for Godhand Teru.
[edit 2] According to Nikkan Sports, he was groping her thigh for about 5 minutes.
