On the night of May 6, the corporate executive, who resides in Tokyo, paid 16,000 yen to the girl, 16, in exchange for her stripping off her underwear and producing saliva inside a vehicle parked in a multi-level garage in Midori Ward of Sagamihara City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
“I thought buying used underwear would satisfy my sexual desire,†the suspect, who was not named, told police. “Over the past 10 years, I’ve done this 10 times.â€
