CHIBA -- A police officer faces charges for flashing his private parts at a high school girl working at a convenience store here last weekend, officials said.

Chiba Prefectural Police are poised to send an investigation report to prosecutors, accusing the officer in his 20s of indecent exposure. He admitted to the allegations during questioning.

The officer exposed his private parts to the 17-year-old girl, who works at the convenience store, on its premises in Tako, Chiba Prefecture, on Saturday evening while he was off duty, the force's inspection office said.

Alerted by the store, local police launched an investigation into the case. Investigators tracked him down from the license plate number of the car he drove to the store.
