Nobuhiro Kubota, 25, a sex shop manager from Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, and former
manager Takashi Kudo, from Suginami Ward, created a Web site dubbed an
"underground employment security agent," inviting girls to apply for sex jobs
on an anonymous basis.
The site advertised that the girls would be introduced to "high-paying" jobs
where they would "interact with adults," police said.
The pair allegedly signed prostitution contracts with three girls -- who
contacted them after seeing the ads -- at their office in Shibuya last November
and in May, according to Kanagawa police.
The case came to light after one of the girls alerted police.
Investigators suspect the pair earned roughly 100 million yen a year by having
such girls engage in prostitution. Police quoted Kubota as denying being
involved in the misdeeds
