Four Arrested Including Leader of Illegal Scout Group “Natural” for Allegedly Referring Woman to Delivery Health Service
In connection with the illegal scout group “Natural,” a joint investigation team from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and the Chiba Prefectural Police has arrested four individuals on suspicion of violating the Employment Security Act by referring a woman to a sex-related business.
The suspect Hiroaki Obata (40), identified as the chairman of “Natural,” was re-arrested, while member Takaki Sakaguchi (28), who resides in Shinjuku, and two male associates connected to the adult entertainment establishment that received the referral were newly arrested. Authorities have not disclosed whether the suspects admit to the allegations.
According to investigators, the four suspects allegedly conspired between September and November 2023 to introduce a woman in her twenties to a delivery health service located in Takasaki, despite knowing that the job involved providing sexual services to an unspecified number of male customers.
The Metropolitan Police Department’s anti–organized crime division stated that members of the group recruited women through social media platforms. It is believed that Sakaguchi received referral fees and other payments from the establishment after arranging the introduction.
On the 16th, the joint task force conducted simultaneous searches at several related locations and seized items including smartphones as part of efforts to uncover the full structure and operations of the organization.
Earlier, in January, Obata had been placed on a nationwide wanted list. After the investigation was made public, authorities tracked him down and took him into custody at a hiding location in Amami.
