Members of investigative teams and volunteers took 20 girls, aged as young as 15, into protective custody during a patrol through four entertainment districts in the capital, including the Akihabara area of Chiyoda Ward and Shibuya.
The patrol targeted so-called “JK” (joshi kosei) school girl businesses that are feared to be a hotbed for child prostitution.
