TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police this week announced the arrest of suspects for the alleged prostitution of an 18-year-old girl in Shinjuku Ward in September, reports TBS News (Nov. 27).

On Friday, officers took Ryuichi Higurashi, 38, and one other suspect into custody for recruiting customers in the streets of the Kabukicho red-light district on behalf of the girl — a violation of the Anti-Prostitution Law.

The girl, who Higurashi charged a fee of 7,000 yen per day, had reportedly accumulated large debts at host clubs.
