IBARAKI (TR) – As a part of an investigation into the illegal activities of a sex service, Ibaraki Prefectural Police last week announced the arrest of a 38-year-old company employee from Gunma Prefecture for soliciting an underage prostitute for illicit filming inside a hotel, reports the Joyo Shimbun (May 7).
On February 21, the suspect is alleged to have used out-call “delivery health” business Legend to request the services of the prostitute, a middle school student, in the filming of an adult video (AV) production inside a hotel room in Tsuchiura City.
The suspect, who has been charged with human trafficking under the child prostitution and pornography law, has reportedly admitted to the allegations.
In March, police arrested the manager of Legend, 25-year-old Kentaro Abe, on charges on charges of prostitution for allegedly providing customers to the girl on approximately 500 occasions. In this latest case, Abe also faces human trafficking charges.
Legend advertised the girl’s services on deai-kei matchmaking sites at rates that ranged between 10,000 and 40,000 yen per session. The girl, who lived at the shop’s office, was compensated between 2,000 and 3,000 yen. Sales attributed to her averaged 1.8 million yen per month.
