KANAGAWA (TR) – Kanagawa Prefectural Police have arrested a 42-year-old man for engaging in sex with two underage girls in Yokohama City last year, reports the Sankei Shimbun (May 21).
Over a 10-minute period starting at around 7:20 p.m. on November 28, Hiroyuki Ideno, a company employee, engaged in acts deemed obscene with the two girls, both 17, inside a vehicle parked in a lot in Kohoku Ward while knowing they were minors.
