ホスト逮捕 女性客のスマホ取り上げて“帰らせず数十万円の金額に”【スーパーJチャンネル】(2026年7月10日)

The man being led away in the nighttime entertainment district is Eita Oki (22), a host club employee arrested on suspicion of violating the Entertainment Business Act. In late May, he is suspected of taking a smartphone from a woman in her 20s at the host club where he worked, with the intention of forcing her to pay an exorbitant amount of money, and preventing her from leaving. Shizuoka Asahi Television Social Affairs Department Chief, Kayoko Wada: "The actions deemed illegal in this case are those newly prohibited by the amendment to the Entertainment Business Act in June of last year. These actions include taking a customer's personal belongings, preventing them from leaving the establishment, or forcing them to comply with instructions, and then pressuring them to order alcohol or otherwise cause them distress." The woman met Oki through social media and he invited her out to dinner. Oki: "Let's go out to dinner as friends." "I've made a reservation." The restaurant he said he had a reservation at was a host club. Suspect Oki: "The fee is exactly 10,000 yen." Woman: "I only have this much money..." Suspect Oki: "It's okay, it's more than enough." However, after entering the establishment... Suspect Oki: "Your rank will decrease. I want you to order more." Ultimately, the woman's payment amounted to over 100,000 yen. This case came to light when the woman contacted the police, leading to the arrest. Reporter Kayoko Wada: "Although the victim in this case paid the fee, it is illegal to put a customer in a situation where they cannot refuse payment even if they don't want to."
