Man Arrested After Dating 35 Women
A Japanese man has been arrested after he allegedly started relationships with 35 different women in order to receive gifts all year round. Takahashi Miyagawa, 39, is accused of defrauding the women by telling them each a different date for his birthday so that he had a constant flow of presents and cards. His real birthday is November 13. The women joined forces and created a victim’ association together, before reporting him to the police in February. They claim Miyagawa, from the Japanese region of Kansai, swindled them out of 100,000 yen about £665 worth of birthday Presents, clothes, and cash in total. Miyagawa met each of the women through his work at a marketing company, which sells shower and bath supplies. Each of them believed they would eventually marry Miyagawa. The investigation into his alleged scheme is ongoing.
