Over 100 drugged and raped in Japan fake clinical study |
Tokyo (AFP) - Japanese police have arrested a man for allegedly drugging and sexually assaulting more than 100 women who believed they were taking part in a medical study, detectives and local media said Tuesday.
Detectives
say scores of women responded to adverts seeking volunteers for "clinical
research measuring blood pressure during sleep" over two years to November
2013.
They
believe Hideyuki Noguchi, 54, gave the women sedatives after luring them to
hotels and hot spring resorts.
Once the
women were unconscious, he raped them and filmed each assault, police said.
Footage of
the attacks was posted on the Internet or sold to producers of porn films,
allegedly netting Noguchi more than 10 million yen ($85,000), TBS and other
broadcasters said.
Noguchi is
not know to have any medical training or expertise.
A spokesman
for police in Chiba, east of Tokyo, said officers had confirmed at least 39
victims, aged from their teens to their 40s in Tokyo, Chiba, Osaka, Tochigi and
Shizuoka.
Detectives
believe they are just a fraction of the total number of women whom Noguchi
attacked, thought to number well over 100, media reports said.
