I am posting this information for the Canadian teacher that was involved in this case.
If you have read the previous postings then you know that Japanese stalking laws are less than adequate to put it
mildly.
In fact, after the second stalking incident with American School managers, the Canadian teacher sat in front of a
group of six police officers and they stated to her that the only way she could charge someone with stalking in
Japan is...."YOu must have had sex with them." The laws are the problem in Japan. If this school owner did this in
Canada, American or any other country, he would be sitting in prison right now.
I know you have read about how bad the owners of this school are and that you get the picture but you need to read
about how truly sick and twisted they are. I am being kind when I use these words.
The Canadian teacher left American School in December 1995. She left on fair terms with the owners. I say fair
because there were many unresolved labor issues.
1. overtime pay
2. holiday pay
3. unilateral changing of a contract whether the teachers like it or not.
In January 2005, the Canadian teacher received a phone call where she was doing a homestay with a friend.
The call came from four teachers(still employed at the school) who advised the former head teacher that their
working conditions had become worse since she had left.
They asked for her help and she arranged for a Japanese friend to take them to the labor office.
This teacher went to a different labor office. In Japan, there are two different offices; one for people experiencing
labor issues at the school they are presently employed with and the second if you have already stopped working at a
school.
A man from the labor office went to American School to conduct an investigation.
He advised the Canadian teacher that she was able to pursue the matter of overtime.
This was when American School decided to attack this teacher. News came back to her that Hitomi Ishizuka(manager)
was furious.
Ishizuka advised all teachers that they were not to have any further contact with the Canadian teacher whom she
deemed to be "a bad person".
The Canadian teacher did a homestay with the parent of former students of American School. After the birth of her third
child, the Japanese mom withdrew from the school.
What happened next is just bizarre. The teacher received many e-mails from parents asking them to please teach their
children because they missed her. She declined but went on several outings with students and their parents together. They
went to a zoo once and to a park.
The next thing she knew, American School was accusing her of stealing their students and teaching them and they accused
the Japanese(homestay lady) of starting ridiculous rumours. Of course this was not true but the school managers wanted
revenge on her for going to the labor office. So they decided to sue the Canadian teacher in small claims court and the homestay mom.
One day, the homestay mom is looking after her friends two children. She asked the teacher if she could take her
two kids and the other two to the park for 30 minutes while she and her husband run a few errands.
She did and as she took them to the park, a van suddenly pulls up beside her. It is the homestay mom telling her to
get into the van because she had just caught Dan Lewis video-taping her with the children. So what? They were
going to the park with a beach ball.
They drove around the block while Dan Lewis made a mad dash for his vehicle and the teacher and children were dropped
off at the house.
Mr. Lewis pursued the van for over 20 minutes in a high speed chase while the homestay mom was on the phone with
police. As the police pulled up, Mr. Lewis drove away and was advised to stay away from the house by the police.
The Canadian teacher was training for a marathon and who does she see as she is running? Hitomi Ishizuka, video-taping her
her from the school van and the school secretary is driving the van.
Next Ms.Ishuzuka went to Immigration. She advised them that the teacher had breached her contract and left her
company early. The problem when you lie Ms. Ishizuka is you have to remember what you said and did in the first place.
When the Canadian teacher went into Immigration to renew her visa for a new job, the said;"We already know who you are."
They gave her attitude up until the point when she showed them an e-mail from Hitomi. The e-mail reads like this:
"I can't believe that time has passed so quickly. Thank you for being such a dedicated teacher and for all of
your help". "When you get to Korea, please call me and I will give you my credit card number for the purchase
of the books". "You are our last hope".
Immigration granted the teacher a visa that day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There were so many other incidents of stalking. You have already read about the surveillance and vido-taping into a livingroom and the arrest
of Hitomi Ishizuka.
How much stranger can this get? Well, since Ishizuka and her American boy/husband Dan Lewis cannot come near the teacher, enter Dan Lewis's brother.
Mr. Lewis's brother and a teacher named Kenny were caught video-taping the Canadian teacher working with her new school at an outing.
Now enter Dan Lewis's friend. For the purposes of this post, we will call him "judo boy". Judo boy (6ft/95kgs) two black belts. He ever so
casually meets the Canadian teacher on the subway. He asks for her phone number and if she wants to work out with him. She does, they work out at her gym.
Then he gives the Canadian teacher his e-mail. Teacher remembers Dan Lewis talking about his friend previously and his very distinctive e-mail.
On the second time this teacher works out with judo boy, he assaults her. She tells him to take a hike. She has seven e-mails with full headers in which
she is telling him to get lost. His reason for the assault? "I am allergic to caffeine."(yeah right)!
Judo boy is photographed outside of the teachers house and following her one evening while she is running.
Every conversation she had with him, always included conversations she had had throughout the day with other people.
Now the story gets very strange.
The teacher's e-mail is hacked. Her daughter's e-mails are hacked. 25000Yen worth of S&M videos arrive at the homestay lady's house.
All information on the teachers e-mail accounts are changed. Threat are issued, such as "Watch your back".
When the Canadian teacher went home, her e-bay, paypal and bank accounts were defrauded of just under $5000.00. Items were being sent to her mother's house.
This is what the detective from fraud stated.
Further to my message it looks like this IP number is on the Asia-Pacific Network which means it is likely that it originated from our friend in Japan.
I am sorry that I will not be able to do anything more for you at this time. I will keep the file open in the event that you receive word he will be coming to
Canada ( which is not likely ) Please keep this police report number on file somewhere safe for future reference. I have listed him as a suspect in your report
based on the info you provided me with on the phone.

If you look under Whois...the IP is traced back to ABC Corporation. Any ideas who owned a company under this name?
Take a guess.
This is a message from a parent confirming that Dan Lewis hacked the teachers e-mail.
I got a call from a parent yesterday. When I heard new information, I got
a
Goosebumps.
You are right. American school hacked your e-mail. They submit your
e-mails
in the court. These are seven letters. One is my e-mail and 6 are your daughters.
My
e-mail is that I send about I asked you teach English to my child. I do not
know that 6 danas e-mails. The parent has these documents.
I asked Junko that it is illegal action. She has not asked her lawyer
about
it. so I recommended to ask her lower about it. If these are not
illegal,
Japan law is so wrong.
We do not protect from low. It is sad.
Take care

How interesting that both the teacher and her daughters e-mails were hacked and were presented in court.
Now we are getting to the manufacturing of evidence.
Can you believe a judge even allowed any hacked e-mails into court. The reason given was the fact that the
teacher left to go back to Canada, therefore she is not there to protest. We smell corruption how about you?
A film maker recently made a documentary about corruption in the Japanese judicial system. We will try to find the title of the documentary for you.
Enough said for today.
