A police spokesperson said Itsushi Ehara, 73, chief priest ata temple in the western Japanese prefecture of Hiroshima and also headof a nursery school, paid the 15-year-old girl 80 000 yen ($675) tohave sex in a hotel in downtown Tokyo.
Ehara said: "I could not resist my lust. A lot of stress built up from running the school."
