Pair busted for forcing girl into prostitution
September 27, 2004
Shizouka - Two jobless men who forced a 16-year-old girl to work as a
prostitute to repay debts she had incurred have been arrested, police said.
Motoyuki Uchino, 35, of Shizuoka, and Kosuke Tsuchiya, 21, of Numazu, Shizuoka
Prefecture, were arrested for breaking the Child Welfare Law.
Both are suspected of forcing other girls into selling sex.
Police said the pair forced a 16-year-old girl to have sex for money at a
Numazu love hotel on three different occasions in late July this year. She was
paid up to 20,000 yen in cash for each session and handed over all the money
she received to Uchino and Tsuchiya.
The girl owed a friend of the pair several hundred thousand yen and they forced
her into selling sex to get money to pay back what she owed, police said.
