On March 4, Masatomo Sakuta, the 48-year-old manager of academy Aoba Gakuin, located in Chiba Prefecture, allegedly paid 5,000 yen to the boy, a third-year middle school student, to engage in acts deemed obscene inside a vehicle parked in a lot at a shopping center in Tokyo’s Adachi Ward.
Sakuta, who has been accused of violating the anti-child prostitution law, admits to the allegations.
