2 men arrested for assaulting woman in room of school that teaches guys how to pick up women

Police in Tokyo have arrested two Tokyo Metro employees for allegedly getting a woman drunk and then assaulting her last summer.

According to police, the suspects, Ken Nemoto, 27, and Takuya Habu, 33, are enrolled as students in “Nanpa Juku,” a cram school where men are taught how to pick up women, Fuji TV reported.

The two allegedly brought their female victim to a classroom managed by the so-called school last July 31. Police said the suspects forced the woman to drink a lot of alcohol, including vodka, in the room room in a condominium located in Shinjuku Ward. The victim became so intoxicated that she was unable to resist the two men.

Police said Nemoto has admitted to the allegations while Habu reportedly stated that the woman “consented” to what went on.

The crime was carried out in a special room known as “the house” by Nanpa Jyuku. Students would use the facility after paying a set fee.

According to police, Nemoto has confessed to bringing “over 100 women” to the room.
