Tokyo man accused of sexually assaulting matchmaking app date at his apartment

TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police have arrested a 28-year-old company employee for allegedly sexually assaulting a woman he met on a dating app earlier this year, reports the Sankei Shimbun (Sep. 4).

Ayato Takahashi, a resident of Shinagawa Ward, is accused of non-consensual sexual intercourse with a woman in her 20s at his Kamiosaki apartment on the night of April 21. The two were meeting in person for the first time.

According to police, Takahashi rendezvoused with the woman in front of Meguro Station before coaxing her back to his residence. After chatting for approximately 30 minutes, Takahashi suddenly demanded a kiss. When the terrified woman attempted to flee, he allegedly pinned her down and assaulted her.

Upon his arrest, Takahashi denied the allegations. “It is not true that I forcefully pushed her down to do it,” he told investigators.

Tokyo police are currently investigating whether Takahashi has been involved in similar assaults against other women.

东京（TR）——据《产经新闻》（9月4日）报道，东京警视厅逮捕了一名28岁的公司员工，他涉嫌性侵一名今年早些时候通过约会软件认识的女子。

居住在品川区的绫人高桥被指控于4月21日晚在其位于神尾崎的公寓内与一名20多岁的女子发生非自愿性行为。两人是第一次见面。

据警方称，高桥在目黑站前与该女子碰面，随后哄骗她回到住处。两人交谈约30分钟后，高桥突然要求亲吻该女子。该女子惊恐地试图逃跑，高桥却将她按倒在地并实施了性侵。

高桥被捕后否认了这些指控。他告诉调查人员：“我没有强行把她推倒在地。”

东京警方目前正在调查高桥是否曾对其他女性实施过类似的袭击。
