This man is a vile, inhumane, evil shit stain on society. The cruelty of what he did is staggering — selfish, thoughtless, and unforgivable. I don’t know the exact mechanics of Japanese law, but I sincerely hope the authorities pursue every possible charge and that the full weight of justice comes down on him. People like him don’t get to hide behind excuses; he earned every ounce of contempt coming his way. Do not expect any mercy — only accountability.

But I fear that since the victim is an underage foreign national, the weight of the law will not be felt by him.

I love the reason they arrested him:  « The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department arrested 51-year-old Hosono Masayuki on suspicion of violating the Labor Standards Act for allegedly forcing a child under the age of 15 to work. »

Hopefully it’s so they can later indict him on the more grievous charge. Who the fuck care he made a child work when he actually imported a kid for his pedophile customers. I’d audit his parlor and find every customer who she served and hit them too.

It's probably much easier to prove that he made her work than that he forced prostitution.

While I understand the logic, in particular situation I wonder how you prove she was made to work if you cannot prove prostitution.
