HIROSHIMA--A man already indicted for sexually molesting a pupil at an elementary school where he worked as a teacher was re-arrested Tuesday on suspicion of raping a small girl in 2004.

Naoki Morita, 42, admitted to the rape allegation, prefectural police said.

Officials said he had admitted to sexually molesting more than 10 girls at schools where he had worked.

Morita was indicted on a charge of sexually molesting an elementary schoolgirl in Mihara, Hiroshima Prefecture, around 2004, after he was first arrested on May 12.

Morita was dismissed by the prefectural board of education on May 27. (IHT/Asahi: June 4, 2008)
