TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested entertainer-turned-porn-star Anri Sakaguchi in the alleged attempted extortion of a male acquaintance, investigative sources revealed on Wednesday, reports reports Sankei Sports (Apr. 19).

On Tuesday, Sakaguchi, 26, allegedly attempted to extort about 30,000 yen in cash from a bar host in Shinjuku Ward with whom she is in a relationship.

Sakaguchi, a Tokyo native, is the daughter of popular actress Ryoko Sakaguchi. She began appearing in a number of television series after entering the entertainment business in 2008.

Three years ago, she had a starring role in “Honey Flappers,” which chronicles the lives of hostesses at a club in the Roppongi entertainment district. The following year, she was the cover girl of the final issue of fashion magazine Jiggy.

Sakaguchi made her adult video (AV) debut for label Muteki in October. At the time, speculation emerged about whether the reason for the career change was due to accumulated debt at host clubs.

Earlier this month, label Moodyz released her latest AV film, “Why Not Deflower a Real Celebrity?”
