allegedly
figuring out where she lives,
by
analyzing her social media photos, specifically the reflections in her pupils! Japanese
Police arrested a man suspected of assaulting a young pop star he was obsessed
with, it is believed that Hibiki Sato, a 26-year-old unemployed man from Saitama, a city north of Tokyo, was able to narrow down the area of Tokyo
Ms. Matsuoka lived in by going through her social media profiles, enlarging her
photos and analyzing the reflections in her pupils, He was thus able to
recognize some Tokyo scenery and a bus stop, which he then located using Google
Street view. Some sources claim that the alleged stalker had even approximated
the storey Matsuoka lived on based on the windows and the angle that sunlight
hit her eyes, above, Hibiki Sato (L), Ena Matsuoka (R) (ANNnewsCH; Ena

Sato has
been arrested for allegedly attacking Ena Matsuoka, a 21-year-old pop singer
with the group Tenshi Tsukinukeni Yomi. Police believe that after pinpointing
her location in Tokyo, Hibiki Sato spent a long time stalking his victim and
eventually followed her from the bus station all the way to her home, after a
concert. He allegedly placed a towel over her head, dragged her into a dark
corner, threw her to the ground and molested her. The 21-year-old singer
reportedly suffered injuries to her face during the struggle, according to RT, Sato confessed to the crime on September 17,
when he was finally arrested, 16 days after the attack allegedly took place. He
admitted to being obsessed with Matsuoka, it is unclear how popular the use of
high-resolution photos is among cyberstalkers, but Japanese newspaper Tokyo
Shimbun warned its readers even casual selfies could reveal clues that could
help someone identify the location of the photo. It also claimed that doing the
V-sign/victory sign, which many Japanese people do in photos, could help
someone steal their fingerprints. That one sounds a bit far-fetched, but then again,
so does analyzing the reflections in someone’s pupils, Hibiki Sato was indicted
for his crime last week, how scary for anyone, famous or not if true!
