An education official from Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture, was arrested after he made a contract with a 16-year-old girl in which he paid for her apartment in return for her becoming his mistress, Yukan Fuji (4/23) quotes police saying.
Teruki Miura, the 44-year-old education specialist, was arrested for breaking the law banning child prostitution by allegedly performing indecent acts on a 16-year-old girl attending a vocational college, and whom he met through a matchmaking cafe in Nagoya.
Yukan Fuji says Miura denies the charge against him.
"I went out to dinner with her, but there was no prostitution involved," the lowbrow afternoon tabloid quotes Miura telling cops.
Police say the specific charge for which they picked up Miura came from him taking the girl to a love hotel in her home city of Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, and performing obscene acts on her.
Yukan Fuji quotes police saying the girl was a runaway, and Miura avoided paying her directly for sex by forking out around 300,000 yen to a real estate agent to set the girl up in an apartment of her own. (By Ryann Connell)
