TOKYO, May 15 (Xinhua) -- Tokyo police plan to refer to prosecutors an 18-year-old man for allegedly using camera-equipped smart glasses to cheat on an entrance exam at Waseda University, local media reported on Wednesday.

The Tokyo resident, who was a senior high school student at the time of the alleged offense, is suspected of using the electronic glasses to take photos of exam papers and post them on social media to solicit answers on Feb. 16 during the entrance test for Waseda University's School of Creative Science and Engineering, Kyodo News reported, citing investigative sources.

The suspect allegedly had used answers that he had received on social media in that exam and was later disqualified.

The case came to light after a person who responded to one of his questions online contacted Waseda University, the report said.

The police plan to file criminal papers with prosecutors against him as early as Thursday on suspicion of "obstructing operations" of the private university, it added.

The man said during voluntary questioning that he was worried he may not get into a university after performing poorly on standardized tests and being rejected by national universities, according to the police. Enditem
