On Friday, Osaka Prefectural Police announced the re-arrest of a 36-year-old man who admits to engaging in more than 1,000 illicit acts with hundreds of women, including teenage girls, on a live streaming site

Osaka police have arrested 37-year-old, Taketomo Ochi, after allegedly recorded himself having sex with girls and uploading the videos to a website.

According to Tokyo Reporter, between November and February, Taketomo Ochi, a resident of Naniwa Ward, broadcast live footage of him performing sex acts believed offensive with two women, one of whom was an 18-year-old junior college student, on the site FC2 Live, a pay-to-view service. A woman has also been arrested in the case.

Ochi, who has been charged with violating the Employment Security Act regarding harmful business recruitment, admits to the allegations.

Police said Ochi has admitted to performing with about 280 women, many of whom were middle and high school students, on 1,678 occasions over the past year, according to the Asahi Shimbun (June 9). Police have questioned 17 women, aged between 15 and 24, in the case.

Since beginning the broadcasts four years ago, he has collected about 20 million yen in revenue.
On May 21, police first arrested Ochi on charges of public indecency over a broadcast. Another man, 46, also faces charges for referring two female performers, aged 15 and 18, to Ochi.

Rape is a severely under-reported crime with surveys showing dark figures of up to 91.6% going unreported. Statistics reports show more than 250,000 cases of rape or attempted rape were recorded by police annually. – Wikipedia

Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – are major public health problems. Global estimates published by WHO indicate that about 1 in 3 (35%) women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. Globally, as many as 38% of murders of women are committed by a male intimate partner.
