 It has been revealed through interviews with investigators that the Fukuoka Prefectural Police have arrested a man in his 30s from Yanagawa City, Fukuoka Prefecture, who was the club representative for repeatedly sexually assaulting four girls he was coaching at a sports club, on suspicion of non-consensual sexual intercourse, etc. The police are investigating the possibility that he abused his position as a coach to make the girls obey him.

 According to investigators, the Fukuoka District Public Prosecutors Office has indicted the man on charges of non-consensual sexual intercourse with two of the four victim girls, as well as violation of the Child Prostitution and Pornography Prohibition Act (production). The charges allege that between December 2024 and July 2025, he sexually assaulted two girls, aged 12 and 13 at the time, in the prefecture and outside the prefecture while on a club trip, and filmed nude videos of them on his smartphone. The man reportedly denied the charges at the time of his arrest.

 The incident came to light this summer when one of the victims contacted the prefectural police together with her family. During the investigation, it was revealed that the man had forced the victim to obey by telling her, "If you don't do as you're told, I won't teach you," and then sexually assaulted her.

 In July 2013, when the man was being questioned voluntarily, he pretended to go to the toilet and fled from the police station. He was arrested on suspicion of trespassing for entering a nearby facility without a legitimate reason. [Kawabata Takeshi]
