Massage Therapist Faces Serious Charges for Alleged Misconduct: accused of Inappropriately Using Adult items on Female Client
When the man emerged from the police station, he looked ahead with a hard look in his eyes. However, he must have felt uncomfortable when he saw the assembled press, including this magazine’s cameraman. He looked down and turned his face away.
By January 13, the Kitazawa Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department had arrested Tsuyoyuki Kakezuka, 30, a masseuse living in Setagaya Ward, Tokyo, on suspicion of indecent conduct. The alleged incident took place in October last year, when he allegedly kissed and touched a female customer in her 20s, Ms. A. “Kakezuka allegedly kissed and touched Ms. A at his shop.
Kakezuka worked as a masseuse at his home, which also served as a store. According to the police, on the day of the incident, when he finished his treatment, he brought out adult goods and ‘instructed’ Ms. A, saying: ‘This is great, isn’t it? This is great, isn’t it? This is how to use it. The suspect also touched Ms. A’s lower body and kissed her,” said a reporter from a national newspaper.
Ms. A, who was victimized, consulted the police. The suspect denied committing the crime, saying “I didn’t do it.
Filming “palpation” with a small camera
In recent years, there have been a number of indecent cases at massage parlors and clinics. The following are some of the major problems.
In October 2010, a former doctor, B, was arrested on suspicion of quasi-forcible sexual intercourse and quasi-forcible indecency at a clinic where he was the director. The crime took place in a treatment room at night. It was nighttime, and there were no other employees or patients in the clinic.
In March 2011, the clinic’s director, C, was arrested on suspicion of indecent assault. He allegedly touched the lower half of her body for about an hour. A small camera was used to film the “palpation. No one else was in the hospital.
In November ’23, the manager of the chiropractic clinic was arrested on suspicion of non-consensual sexual intercourse. He touched a female customer, who had visited the clinic several times, on the lower half of her body in a space partitioned off by curtains, under the guise of “massage treatment. He also allegedly sexually assaulted a woman who resisted.
Medical examinations and massages are often performed in private rooms. The longer it takes, the more difficult it becomes to prove the case, since there is little evidence and no witnesses. If you are a victim, it is important to consult with the police as soon as possible.
