A Chinese sex shop worker kidnapped and held captive for six days was freed and released in Tokyo early Saturday, police said, adding that they had also arrested the woman for visa violations.
The 37-year-old woman, whose name has not been disclosed, sustained minor bruising to her face and wrists after her kidnappers beat and manhandled her.
She was taken by a group of four or five men, bound and blindfolded before being released early Saturday morning.
How did she end up being a sex worker in the first place? Was she paying off a "debt" as is routinely the case? Was she even in possession of her own passport?
I wonder if police even bothered to go after the kidnappers or the employer who overlooked her illegal visa status for the past five years.
