Ex-Kabukicho host arrested for coercing ‘girlfriend’ into sex work to settle club debts
TOKYO (TR) – Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has arrested a 27-year-old former host club employee in the Kabukicho nightlife district for allegedly coercing a female customer into sex work to pay off her mounting club tabs, reports TBS News (Oct. 16).
Takuto Takeoka , who worked under the stage name “Eren” at the host club Axel by Acqua, is accused of violating the Law Regulating Adult Entertainment Businesses.
According to investigative sources, Takeoka pressured a woman in her 20s at a Kabukicho restaurant last November to enter the sex industry to cover her debts at his club.
“There’s sex work available,” Takeoka allegedly told the victim. “If my sales go up, I can quit being a host sooner and we can use the money to go on trips together. I just need you to work hard for now.”
Police say Takeoka methodically groomed the victim after meeting her on a dating app. Initially posing as an “IT professional,” he waited until they had established a romantic relationship before revealing his true profession.
“I actually do host work as a side job,” he told her. “I want you to know everything about me, so please come to the club.”
After repeatedly visiting the club, the woman quickly fell into debt. Takeoka then introduced her to an adult industry scout, 35-year-old Takahiro Fukushige, who was also arrested on suspicion of violating the Employment Security Act. Through Fukushige, the victim was dispatched to work at a sex parlor in Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture.
Takeoka also allegedly forced the woman to borrow money from consumer lenders, extracting a total of approximately 3.8 million yen from her.
Police suspect Takeoka systematically used this romance scam tactic to exploit multiple women.
Another woman in her 20s recently came forward with similar allegations. Speaking to TBS News, she revealed she was drained of nearly 10 million yen over a six-month period, handing over her entire sex work earnings minus basic living expenses.
“I told him I hated the idea of sex work, but he said we couldn’t go on dates unless he reached his sales quota, so I went,” the second victim said.
The case marks a legal milestone for Tokyo police. It is the first time Tokyo police have made an arrest under a specific clause of the revised Law Regulating Adult Entertainment Businesses. Enacted in June of last year, it explicitly prohibits club employees from urging customers to engage in sex work to settle their debts.
Earlier this year, police arrested Takeoka in a similar case. However, he was not indicted .

东京（TR）——据TBS新闻（10月16日）报道，东京警视厅逮捕了一名27岁的前男公关俱乐部员工，该男子涉嫌在歌舞伎町夜生活区胁迫一名女顾客卖淫以偿还其不断上涨的俱乐部账单。
曾以艺名“Eren”在男公关俱乐部Axel by Acqua工作的竹冈拓人被指控违反了《成人娱乐业管理法》。
据调查人员透露，去年 11 月，竹冈在歌舞伎町一家餐厅胁迫一名 20 多岁的女子从事性工作，以偿还她在他俱乐部的债务。
据称，Takeoka告诉受害者：“有性工作机会。如果我的销售额上升，我就可以早点辞掉男招待的工作，我们可以用赚来的钱一起去旅行。我现在只需要你努力工作。”
警方称，Takeoka在通过约会软件结识受害者后，有条不紊地对她进行诱骗。他最初伪装成“IT专业人士”，等到两人建立起恋爱关系后才透露自己的真实职业。
“我其实兼职做主持人，”他告诉她。“我想让你了解我的一切，所以请来俱乐部吧。”
这名女子多次光顾该俱乐部后很快负债累累。随后，竹冈将她介绍给了35岁的成人产业星探福重贵弘，福重贵弘也因涉嫌违反《劳动保障法》而被捕。通过福重贵弘的介绍，这名女子被安排到千叶县船桥市的一家性服务场所工作。
据称，竹冈还强迫该女子向消费贷款机构借钱，总共从她那里榨取了约 380 万日元。
警方怀疑竹冈有系统地利用这种爱情骗局手段诈骗多名女性。
另一名二十多岁的女性近日也站出来提出了类似的指控。她在接受TBS新闻采访时透露，在六个月的时间里，她被骗走了近1000万日元，除了基本生活开支外，她所有的性工作收入都被全部上交了。
“我告诉他我讨厌性工作的想法，但他却说除非他完成销售指标，否则我们不能约会，所以我去了，”第二名受害者说。
此案对东京警方而言具有里程碑式的意义。这是东京警方首次依据修订后的《成人娱乐业经营管理法》的特定条款进行逮捕。该法于去年6月生效，明确禁止夜总会员工怂恿顾客从事性交易以偿还债务。
今年早些时候，警方曾因类似案件逮捕过竹冈，但他并未被起诉。
