Ex-Police Officer’s 60 Million Yen Debt Repaid Through Sugar Dating and Loan Sharks

The personal life of this police officer was the complete opposite of the image that society holds of “police personnel,” being dark and desolate.

 

The Nara Prefectural Police charged a female administrative staff member in her twenties with fraud and violations of the Act on the Prevention of Transfer of Criminal Proceeds (later not prosecuted). On July 12, she was dismissed from her position. The staff member was found to have opened a net banking account with the intention of transferring it to a third party, which was deemed fraudulent. However, she had a “hidden side” unknown even to her colleagues.

 

“She worked in an unregulated sex industry and was also involved in ‘papa-katsu’ activities. In fact, this female staff member had become addicted to visiting host clubs, where at times she accumulated up to 10 million yen in unpaid debts. To cover these debts, she eventually amassed a huge 60 million yen in loans from consumer finance companies and engaged in sex work and ‘papa-katsu’ to repay it,

.” (said a reporter from a national newspaper’s social affairs department)

 

The female staff member began frequenting host clubs in Osaka around June 2022. She would order large quantities of expensive champagne, and her monthly bills sometimes exceeded several million yen.

 

“The earnings from ‘papa-katsu’ were about 10,000 to 30,000 yen per encounter. To repay her massive debts, she was engaging in sexual relations with clients in hotels on her days off and after work. Over the course of nearly two years, the number of clients she had reached approximately 150.” (said an investigator)

 

The woman continued visiting host clubs, and her total debt eventually reached 60 million yen. As a result of her multiple debts, she ultimately turned to loan sharks.

 

“In January of last year, when she applied for a 4 million yen loan, the loan shark explained that ‘a certain amount must be paid in advance, and for that purpose, you need to create an account for paying interest.’ The woman then falsely declared that the account would be for her personal use and opened internet banking accounts in her and her mother’s names. The loan shark instructed her to deposit 1.4 million yen as interest into the newly opened account and demanded the account ID and password. After she followed the instructions, depositing the 1.4 million yen and providing the password, the loan shark withdrew all the cash and took over the account. The situation came to light after the woman’s father consulted a police officer he knew.” (said the social affairs reporter)

 

She lost her job and her credibility, leaving only a massive debt behind. The cost of her excessive host club addiction was devastatingly high.
