Oct 31 (tokyoreporter.com) - Tokyo Metropolitan Police have busted a massage parlor in Katsushika Ward that unlawfully provided sexual services in private rooms, reports TV Asahi
Police have accused Koetsu Hira, the 54-year-old manager and a female Chinese national, also 54, of employing female masseuses to provide honban, or full sex, to male customers, which is a violation of the Anti-Prostitution Law.
Hira admits to the allegations. However, the Chinese national denies the charges, telling police, “I only cleaned and did laundry.â€
The matter emerged after police received an anonymous tip in September about “illegal activity†taking place at the parlor.
The parlor is also under investigation over immigration violations, police said.
