Menstrual Cycle Checks and Prostitution: The Exposed Secrets of a High-Class Dating Café
Dating Cafes are Hotbeds for Prostitution
During police questioning, suspect Murakami reportedly stated, “Revenue from providing an ordinary meeting space alone wasn’t enough. I didn’t think I’d get caught.” But what led to the crackdown?
“Dating cafés have long been a hotbed for prostitution, a concern for law enforcement. However, if they claim, ‘We’re just providing a place for people to meet freely, and if two people hit it off and go to a love hotel, there’s no prostitution negotiation involved,’ proving otherwise becomes challenging. This shop also had a notice inside stating, ‘This is a meeting place, but prostitution is prohibited,’ and required female members to sign a pledge not to engage in prostitution, presenting itself as a legitimate establishment. Yet, at the same time, the manager would confirm women’s menstruation dates to arrange a prostitution schedule. Police meticulously gathered statements from members and clients, building a solid case,” explained an investigator.
The saying “The net of heaven is vast and spares none” seems fitting here—wrongdoing does not escape justice.
