A 55-year-old Japanese university teacher stripped down to ‘his birthday suit’ (naked) on campus in a bid to prove his love for a 21-year-old student, the versity stated earlier today, only for his young beloved to make off with his clothes.
The older man, who taught computer sciences at Tokyo’s Taisho University, was left in the buff, in public at his live-in-lover’s request.
The (as yet) unnamed teacher, told officials his girlfriend had ordered him to “take off your clothes right there if you want me to trust you”.
But after stripping to demonstrate his dependability, his beau — who was said to be “emotionally unstable” at times — picked up his clothes and ran off.
“I apologise that (I did) what I did, which I did to protect my loved one, resulted in such a situation,” the chastened lecturer later told his students.
“The instructor acted to assuage the woman’s insecurity but admitted it was an extremely careless thing to do. He expressed his intention to resign,” the school said in a statement.
The student was later located and returned the clothes, local media reported, adding that the pair then went home together.
