東京での台湾からの留学生殺人事件。手配となっている同じ台湾の男子学生はかつてネット性犯罪で逮捕歴があることがわかりました。お父さんの心中,察するに余りあります。ところで,ここのreportの意味,「報告する」ではないですよね。To To Toくん,解説をどうぞ。(ゼミ生 まだ少し指名質問が残っているカメ女)
At a news conference Sunday, the Metropolitan Police Department released a wanted notice that carried a photo of Chang and listed his height and other personal data.

Japan's Fuji Television reported earlier in the day that police suspected the Taiwanese may be in the Tokai region in Japan, which covers Aichi, Gifu, Mie and Shizuoka prefectures, and is focusing on locating his whereabouts, Fuji TV said.

Japanese police have also asked Taiwan's Criminal Investigation Bureau to supply Chang's criminal record. Chang was sentenced to three months in prison in 2000 for an Internet sex crime, according to Taiwan police.

Meanwhile, Chang's father said that he believes his son is innocent and hopes he will report to the police as soon as possible. “My boy should begin school on Jan. 12. If he returns on the 11th, it's likely that he's not involved in the crime, but if he doesn't show up by then, there's nothing else I can say,” the Taipei resident said in an interview on Taiwan television.

He described his son as someone who is “afraid to see even a rat bleed or killed.” “I cannot imagine a person like him doing such a thing (as committing a murder),” the father said. “If he really killed the two women ... I have no clue under what circumstance it could have happened or why,” Chang's father said. “It is not at all logical.” He pleaded for his son to come forward if he did indeed commit the crime.
