However, police added that Hojo’s relationship with the boy dates back to last year. “There were no romantic feelings,” Hojo also told police.

Hojo is married with three children. The matter emerged after the boy’s mother realized that he was in contact with Hojo via the smartphone app Line. The boy told police that he regularly visited Hojo “to play.”

According to police, Hojo’s residence was a regular hangout for multiple boys. After a neighbor alerted police, she was issued a warning. The investigation is ongoing, police said.
