KYOTO -- A 14-year-old schoolgirl who introduced a younger girl to a man who paid to perform obscene acts with her has been arrested, police said.
The 14-year-old, a second year junior high school student in Osaka's Yodagawa-ku, was arrested for violating the child welfare law and the law banning child prostitution and child pornography. Her name has been withheld because she is a minor.
Investigators said the girl introduced a 13-year-old junior high school girl from Kyoto to a 25-year-old worker from Osaka's Higashisumiyoshi-ku. The worker is suspected of paying about 55,000 yen to perform obscene acts with the girl at a hotel in Kyoto in December last year.
The 14-year-old girl reportedly met the younger girl through an Internet matchmaking site. She handed the younger girl 20,000 yen, and took the rest of the money as an "introduction fee," police said.
The arrested student's actions were uncovered after the younger girl's family talked to police. Police are investigating the possibility that the student was involved in other crimes.
