TOKYO (TR) – Two Osaka firemen were suspended from duty for six months on Tuesday for appearing in multiple gay adult video (AV) productions, reports Nikkan Sports (Aug. 6).

The pair, both employed at the Shijonawate City Fire Department, were approached by an AV scout on a beach in Suma Ward of Kobe. After being complimented on their trim bodies, the firemen, both 20 years of age, starred in a porn film that same day, with each being paid a fee of 10,000 yen.

Both men were persuaded to perform by a claim that their faces would be obscured in the film.

Last November, one of the two made another appearance in an AV production for the same fee, while the other starred in two more films in January and March of this year for 40,000 yen.

In the initial films, the two stars could see that their faces were in fact not covered and registered complaints. However, the scout coerced them to continue.

The matter came to light on July 25, when an anonymous email reached the city’s municipal office. On the following day, the Shijonawate Fire Department received a copy of a DVD featuring one of the films.

The firemen were accused of participating in disreputable acts and engaging in dual employment, which is prohibited. A total four staff members were disciplined.

“Quite simply, this is prohibited behavior,” said mayor Kazunori Doi. “I want to work to restore the people’s confidence in all staff members of the municipal government.”
